I would like to say HI

Hi I am Daniela and I am waiting for an assessment for ADHD/ADS/Autism. While I wait, which I expect to be a long time, I am reaching out to get help, understanding and support as well as practical tips on how to manage daily life. I often find this world confusing and overwhelming. 

I don't have a large support network, my family live in Germany and both my parents have passed away.

  • Good morning from America, Daniela!

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re a bit alienated with your family living so far away. Have you been able to get/maintain a job? That is sometimes a major stressor for Autistics, but it can also be a source of security and support. My job is to help disabled folk get jobs, so if you have employment questions I might be able to help a bit.

    I hope that you find what you are looking for on this site!
