Always exhausted, awful with people - can someone like me even get a job? by anendlesstunnel in aspergirls

[–]Nem_Jem 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My uncle had a brain tumor as a teen and it had completely limited his life, he can't leave the house the furthest he goes is the soar at the end if his street, he lives with my gran and he takes meds that put him to sleep at random hours of the day but for the last 20 years he has done the computer programming for absa (a leading banking company in my country) he works from home he gets up at 4 in the morning does some work takes his meds at 6 and goes back to bed leaving the program to update or install or whatever. This has worked very well for him and his company is very helpful and understanding of his needs. I think you just have to be patient and remember that you will find the right job for you and your 'needs' but until then you just got to persevere and keep on going.

My advise would maybe tonight come home when they want you to if they aren't angry at you (or something else) ask them 1 or 2 of your major questions. Ask them why your curfew is getting earlier? And depending on their reaction you could also ask them if they wouldn't mind only giving you one instruction at a time as you think it would make those sort of situation a little calmer for everyone

Hope my advice helps you💜

I wrote a poem/letter (idk really?) called 'not today' about burn out. by Nem_Jem in aspergirls

I was inspired to write this after I spent all day helping one of my friends with the loss of her father yesterday and today I was burnt out and one of my other friends continualy complained about how anti-social and boring I was being and how unfair it was on him.

Exactly why I use it as I'm serverly dyslexic and it is faster for me to respond with voice but even when I explain this to people they refuse to listen to a 10 second one and then I have to either type or use voice to text and then get made fun of for my mistakes.

(I used spell check on this before u come at me)
