Hi. I've just signed up so I can find information and advice to support my 20 year old Autistic daughter. She has suffered severe anxiety through her teenage years and with a mixture or therapy and medication is in a lot better place. She has even managed to get a part-time job which I'm extremely happy about. However she is forgetful and struggles to focus and do what's asked of her. As she got the job through a friend of mine I know she's hanging onto it by the skin of her teeth. I've tried to tell her the things she needs to do to improve the situation but I can't change the way her mind works. She hates confrontation so it's hard for me or anyone at work to get through as she tries to avoid the situation and pretend it's not happening, even if it's done in the most considerate way possible. She either doesn't react at all or gets really upset.
I really don't want her to lose her job as she enjoys it and it gets her out of the house. Any ideas how I can best support her would be really helpful.
I suffer with anxiety myself and it eats me up that I don't seem to be able to do anything to help as ultimately it's up to her but doesn't stop me worrying. Sometimes I think I'm too soft with her and other times not understanding enough. She is many years behind in maturity and very childlike. I don't want to change her just find a way in which she can adapt and be happy
Sorry for the long post
