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 ear defenders and they're my favourite thing ever. I wear them in addition to earplugs at night and I'm finally getting good sleep.
I also bought a puzzle cube as a stim toy and solving it is really relaxing.
I have a radar key but it doesn't seem to work outside of normal toilet opening hours which seems a bit pointless?
I've found a local autistic social group and been on a walk with them which was nice. I didn't have to worry about trying to seem normal.

Nice (+ I know what you mean!)
