Adie_1973.

I have late diagnosed Autism and it feels like my brain is fighting me all the time 

I have been signed off work due to a mental health breakdown 5 weeks ago but my brain is telling me I should be at work not trying to repair my mental health 

But I am off with a very valid reason 

Why does my brain act or work like this is this a usual problem with people who have late diagnosis autism 

I experience this fight every day 

Any feedback on this or advice

  • I’ve been through something very similar, was suffering for many years with low mood and anxiety. Not understanding why really and then suddenly discovering autism. It blew me away and led to I suppose a burn out or something similar. I’ve been off work since Feb after working pretty much non stop since being 19 now 53. 
    In my case, I did feel very bad at first and guilty about not working but have managed to come around to thinking that I need to get better. Going back is going to really set me back and I’m lucky to be able to support myself financially if I don’t go back…I’ve never been very kind on myself but that’s what I’ve been trying to do better at. That and not being in a hurry. Good luck and hope things sort themselves out
