This question is for myself - an Autistic adult.
I'm currently in college on a councelling course, and at some point I'll have to do role-play to show my councelling skills, if it was a real-life situation it would be fine but I cannnot do role-play...I can't just imagine an entire real-life situation with all that intales off the top of my head, and a script isn't going to work in this situation.
Also as the course goes along I've been sitting out class role-play so I've not had the practice that other students have had. Add to this that I'm doing this course without suffient sleep, off my normal diet, I've no friends in class so it's not a great environment for me, and I'm anxious over the course so I'm not on my 'A game'.
My tutor clearly has no idea about autism and seems to think I'm chosing not to do it rather than it being an inability to role-play. She's turning to me to think of a way to get past this, to find a way to record a role-play exercise, but I don't know what to do.
Does anyone have any miraculous ideas to help?
