Stress & Finding a Job

Inglewood

I finished working for a retail comapny at the end of last year, through stress and I have been diagnosed with Aspergers.  I had an interview with a work placement, but when I got there I struggled to get out of the car, and once I did I got to meet my initial employment services contact (not through NAS).  I got into the building, but told them I couldn't go through with it and left.

Has anybody else had similar experiences?

I have another different interview tomorow afternoon, and don't know how I will feel?

I just feel so stressed at the moment.

Any thoughts anybody?

  • Yes, Ive been advised to look for part time only, probably up to about 20 hours, which Im currently looking for.

    With regards to driving lessons, before I was ever diagnosed with Aspergers (and having failed my test twice) I took an intensive course ( I think it was about 1997).  I changed my driving instructor and took an intensive course, where I drove 25 hours over one week, probably 5 hours a day split into morning and afternoon and took my test at the start of the next week.

    I know these can be a big one off expense but I passed.  I had a teacher who although was older than me was not that much older than me 

    I had prevoiusly failed  twice before that.  But I passed.  I think I was 23 at the time.
