What have you done today?

Hope

I went food shopping, which was stressful because I had to walk back home carrying my heavy backpack in the baking sun. Then I went out and met my two friends, who, like me, have AS, at a nice tea room. I finally went to Oxfam where I did some voluntary work, steaming and pricing clothes, and chatting with the other volunteers

  • Hi hope i have been volunteering at oxfam for a year and a half now. Someone helped me to go for this job. How long have you been at oxfam? I am the only one there with a disability. The manageress is nice there. I dont just have aspergers but i have severe depression,anxiety,ocd and hundreds of phobias! Am surprised i manage to leave the house at all really! I notice in another post you say you have a degree! So how did you cope with being at university with other people? I also have severe social anxiety so its very difficult for me to go to places like colleges really. At the moment i also attend a day centre for mental health problems which is danger of closing down due to goverment cut backs!
