New Here / Autistic Adult (and question about work/study)

Hi, I was diagnosed with autism in summer 2022, I am a female in my late 20's and I wanted to just introduce myself and say hi. I also wanted to ask those of you who can't work/study, what are you able to do? how do you keep yourself busy on good days? have you found anything specific that you enjoy, or that you've found beneficial?

and for those of you that got back into work after periods of time off due to autism, how did you find it?

I have been looking at online classes, I just don't know what the best option is.

If you're not sure then a good place to start would be to do some of the many free online courses available. You can do them in your own time without pressure and try lots of different things until you find something that really interests you.

Thank-you so much, it's really appreciated. I had a good look on there yesterday and enrolled in a free class :) I think I'm going to try open university in October, I think it's what my brain needs and I have a good idea of what I want to study.
