  • You’re giving yourself an awfully hard time about not working when (if I’ve read the stats correctly) you’re among the 80% or more of autistic people who aren’t in full time permanent employment. Raising a child is something I can only imagine but I can see how all consuming and exhausting it must be- that’s an incredible use of your time and venturing into the world of formal employment  isn’t something you need to do to prove yourself. Maybe it’s something you want, but if it’s just because you think you ‘should’ then maybe give yourself permission to think otherwise.
