Hi All

Hello, I was late diagnosed at 27... we found out it went backwards in our family... found out my nephew was diagnosed, then my sister... then she suggested I should speak to a professional as she thinks I struggle on a social level (which I agree with).

I am currently unemployed seeking work, I have struggled to keep a job but volunteering in the main time.

I often enjoy games like pokemon/legend of zelda, I draw and listen to music... absolutely love animals!

I joined to learn more about autism as I struggled to understand my nephew and most recently was let go due to being unable to follow instructions... it feels like I am having to learn from scratch as I also have dslyexica, dsycalculus and most likely dsypraxia... (always been clumbsy with bruises! - but not official on dsypraxia).

If anyone has experience when disclosing their autism in job places it would be very helpful, as I am not sure when to mention it. I have told family and friends who I trust but currently seeking work and hoping when I get there the employer will be understanding.

Sorry if it's a long-ish induction, but it highlights my interest and current struggles.

Posting Loona as she's my favourite from hazbin hotel!

  • Hi, nice to meet you Slight smile I used to love Pokémon, Raichu was my favourite. I can’t believe there’s so many now. 

    I’m also unemployed. Most jobs available seem so stressful to me, and without understanding or accommodations I don’t know what I could do. 

    I keep meaning to watch Hazbin Hotel, Loona looks cool.

  • Hi whippet, nice to meet you! Raichu is very cute yes there's over 1000 now... I believe? I honestly relate about the job situation. For me it's a mental toll of rejection then trying to figure out how to say "I have autism"... is there anything you enjoy for Job aspect? Art? Admin? I find reception work and admin easy enough for me to do.

    Honestly watch hazbin hotel or the other show helluva boss! I love both shows! 

    Appreciate the reply:)
