High functioning ASD Struggling.

NrfkGuy

Morning apologies I’m new to this group 

long story short I’m really REALLY STRUGGLING with this autism.

I’m a high functioning autism spectrum on the low but get confused with the low being high and highs low end of the day I drive a car I work full time and do most normal things except in my report my brains wired wrong and I struggle taking in information needs breaking down but dyslexic to I always though was that i thought nothing of it firstly but after 3+years I feel I’m getting worse I can’t handle the loud noises or awful smells.

i work full time and I’m struggling here especially and do t know what to do work says they understand my condition but they really don’t.

i feel I can’t call in sick because of how I’m feeling I just do t know what to do I used to be a bad sepf neglecting person to myself  and it comes in my head more and more this week how am I suppose to cope or manage myself.? really love to hear some feedback ?

  • Hello there, I hope you’ve managed to find yourself a little and get some peace? I think we should acknowledge that autism is a disability but not always in the sense that it stops you doing things. There’s a huge pressure on people to conform to society and a lot of people find this idea alien or at least uncomfortable depending on the circumstances. Are you able to take some time off work using holiday? Depending on what you do for work could you listen to music? I can relate to the noise issue, sudden unexpected loud or high pitched noises make me instantly angry and slightly disorientated and I will cover my ears. Please love yourself because you are very much valued, others not understanding you is their issue to deal with, you’ve got yourself to put first.
