I'm thinking of going in to a career associated with my special interests. One of my special interests is in human health so I'm thinking about becoming a nurse or another of my interests relating to mortuary science so I'm thinking I could study and become a mortuary assistant.
Both of these careers are rewarding and extremely interesting to me. But as usual I worry about it, mostly because of my Autism, it causes me to overthink and get overwhelmed easily and I'm worried because of that I won't be able to do this.
Would appreciate your thoughts on this and own experiences if you've worked in this or similar.
I think both would be great careers :)
I think a nurse would be best and the NHS definitely needs more autistic trained healthcare staff.
Last time I was in hospital and had a meltdown the nurse rolled her eyes at me. It would be nice to have nurses who are autistic that would make my own anxiety a lot less then too.
Good luck with whatever you decide on ^^
