I am qualified to help others, yet, I have been unable to do so since my diagnosis.
I’m also in a helping profession and autistic. Getting a diagnosis can throw up a lot of self doubt about our ability to do our job. I guess in reality we’re no less able to do our job than we were prior to being diagnosed. I do still doubt myself though, should I really be doing this job when I’ve got all this neurological stuff going on?
My diagnosis was made after I'd had to leave my job. Leaving my job was v difficult at that time.
I'm so sorry you had to leave your job I can't imagine how you must be feeling but you are on the best forum for moral support
I’m sorry to hear that you had to leave your job, what happened?
