Hi all.

First of all, I am a diagnosed Autistic, I received my diagnosis at age 18 after waiting from age 16. 

I am just wondering for those of you unemployed and not in education, what helps you stay occupied during the day? I am in the same boat and whilst I have attempted to work, things went terribly wrong. I also tried out a college course a few years ago but got told by quite an awful teacher and principal to never come back. I am not fit for work anyway due to other conditions but we won't get in to that!

I obviously have my own intense interests, which I am sure many of you do too. I just want to challenge myself to do something else alongside this, I enjoy to do things by myself too. I am also a member of a number of other forums in which I actively get involved, I tend to offer advice on welfare benefits but I do get involved in most other discussions more.

I look forward to contributing on here and I hope I am accepted too.

  • Hi there, welcome. 

    Hobbies, you could do art, learn an instrument, write, do an online course that might work out better for you. Baking, cooking, sewing, cross stitch, colouring in. You do not have to bog yourself down with loads of stuff to do, see what works for you, and sometimes doing nothing for a day or two is great too. You could see what interests you like on youtube. For me I like watching videos on Vintage vloggers, or minimalism, there are some great travel vlogs too.
