There's not a lot of support out there and, per my *disabled thread, it's unclear about what benefits, if any, we can access.

So, I've so far:
Got a disability badge from my county council
Today purchased an 'I am autistic' badge from Amazon
Today purchased loop ear plugs from Amazon
Purchased a disability toilet key from Amazon
What else can we do to make our lives a little bit easier?
I bought an anti-glare film for my laptop which has really helped
My singing bowls, both the sound and circling motion are helping me relax. Think i've had the deepest sleep in months the last few nights
Candles at night time in my living room instead of electric lights
Wrote a letter to the staff in my local Co-op explaining that im autistic and may appear anxious sometimes or fumble my words
Had a customized medical card made from Etsy so in case of an emergency people would know i'm autistic. I keep it in my phone case
Bought an 'I have autism' sticker for my front door
