When did l realize

Hi Blush  l am new to the group 

I am waiting a diagnose for HDHD .

When l first realized l was a little different in my grandchild who has Autism and awaiting ADHD diagnose. 

I saw the connection and was left speechless.

I never fitting in at school l got overwhelmed very quickly had trouble sitting still, bored , and had trouble with organization. This had left me very anxious and depressed.

Unfortunately back in my days you girls weren't given the help that they needed and we're treated harshly with punishment,so l had always thought that l was just a naughty girl. 

I had to suppress all my mixed up emotions that had just made me feel worse and rejected by society.

I have struggled with everyday life it's very had not to be like others l couldn't work because there wasn't a place for me,so l have spent my whole life reading books that has made me supper smart but l still feel l need to hide away. I am a very intelligent woman and very confident l live with my wonderful husband that's always inspired me to be a better person today and all days. I cope with my children, autistic grandchild, we're are very happy, l just wish l had a job though.

  • Hi Peacock and welcome! You've made a success of your life, even without a job. If you're happy, which you seem to be, why want more? At work, it's not easy to negotiate relationships and undercurrents can undermine the most favourable career. Ask yourself why you want a job, what extra would it bring to your life happiness? What are the downsides? True, it's great to be appreciated by others, feel you are a part of life - but there are more ways of doing this than a conventional job. With your expert subjects, could you write a book, set up a blog, take part in campaigns. You don't need to worry about finding a publisher, because it is easy to do this online - for example Kindle. Few authors make a lot of money or gain fame and these things bring their own problems. The joy is in using subject[s] you love; bringing them to fruition in a self-published work, blog, specialist interest group or part of a campaign. Just a few thoughts - meanwhile, enjoy this community, where I'm sure you'll find like-minded others. SmileSparkling heart  [edited by moderator]
