Hi CyrodiilWarrior, and congrats on receiving your diagnosis.  It must be a relief to look back with greater understanding on things that happened in the past!

Searching for work as an autistic person can be difficult.  I'm sure many people can relate, and our online community is sure to have a lot of great ideas for you, but in the meantime, NAS also has some guidance pages on employment you might find helpful to have a look at: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/employment

There is information included on how to find a job that's right for you, how to access support in searching for work, and reasonable adjustments and support you may be able to access in work.

You may also like to have a look at our financial help and benefits pages: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/finance-money-and-benefits to find out if you are eligible for any financial support, if that is relevant to you.

I hope you find this helpful, and good luck!

Thanks for your reply. I try and skim read, but huge amount of texts don't suit my dyslexia. I'm hoping I can find work, preferably salary of a descent amount as opposed to zero hour contract. I want to be able to support myself when my parents aren't around.
