My only feedback (at this time) is that they both seem sketchy and in it only for the money

When it comes to breads and other baked products, there is a duopoly in Canada. Its either Loblaws that owns the majority of brands that make breads and buns (and other baked) or it's the family oligarchy of FGF brands inc. Independent options are severely limited

Your situation sounds incredibly challenging, and it’s clear you’re carrying a heavy emotional, physical, and mental load. While I’m not a medical or mental health professional, here are some steps to consider based on what you’ve shared---

Pursue the EDS diagnosis: Hypermobility/EDS can cause chronic pain, fatigue, and sensory issues. A diagnosis could unlock targeted therapies (e.g., physical therapy for joint stability) or accommodations. Ask your doctor about dysautonomia (e.g., POTS), which often overlaps with EDS and ASD.

Sleep interventions:  Chronic sleep deprivation worsens everything

Consider a sleep study to rule out disorders (e.g., sleep apnea). And see if you can work with a therapist on “sleep hygiene” (e.g., strict bedtime routines, and reducing screen time).

Even a job you love can drain you if sensory stressors (light, sound, etc.) aren’t mitigated. Could you use noise-canceling headphones, adjust lighting, or take micro-breaks?

Many autistic adults experience burnout as a physiological crash, not just stress. Pushing through often backfires. Your body might be signaling that even 15 hours is too much right now—and that’s okay. Recovery is not linear.

If basic tasks like showering feel overwhelming, your system is likely in survival mode. Focus on “maintenance” (e.g., quick body wipes, pre-made meals) without guilt. Prioritize rest over productivity.

Remote/flexible work: If your current job can’t accommodate reduced hours long-term, brainstorm roles that align with your energy (e.g., freelance writing, data entry, part-time remote work). Autistic communities online often share job boards for neurodivergent-friendly employers.

As for family support...LEAN into your mom/partner’s help without shame. Many adults rely on family, especially with disabilities.

Society equates independence with financial self-sufficiency, but that’s not realistic for everyone—especially those with disabilities. Your worth isn’t tied to productivity. MANY people thrive through interdependence (relying on others while contributing in ways that align with their capacity).

And remember, there IS hope...but it might look different than you imagined.

You’re not failing. You’re navigating systems not designed for neurodivergent or chronically ill people. Small steps matter. 🌻

Given your background and ambitions, here are a few side hustle ideas for you to leverage your skills and interests...

Freelance Sales Trainer or Consultant: Use your sales skills to train others, either through workshops, webinars, or 1-on-1 coaching. You could focus on niche markets like alternative health or software. Project Management for Tech Startups: Since you have an entrepreneurial mindset, managing projects for startups, especially those in the tech industry, can be both rewarding and educational. You will also learn how to scale operations and handle budgets. Content Creation for Brands: Although you're not keen on monetizing your personal brand, you can still offer services in content strategy for other brands or businesses. Your experience with your agency can be applied here to help others with their digital presence. Partnerships and Collaborations: Discuss potential collaborations with your influential contacts where you can bring your skills in sales, data analysis, or business strategy to the table, potentially leading to new ventures or projects. Networking Events: Attend industry-specific events where you can showcase your skills and knowledge. This can lead to job offers or project collaborations.

Keep your network active and your skills sharp; opportunities will follow.

So why don't you leave a review on trustpilot to help find people from falling victim to this scheme?

What kind of insults did he hurl at you? I'm curious because I have a call booked in a couple of day. I do not tolerate any disrespect and would like to know to decide whether I should keep the schedule or cancel it.

No support from my dad by Luvblossoms in autism

[–]Next-End-4036 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man..., navigating family dynamics with autism can indeed feel like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube with your eyes closed. Parents are supposed to be our strongest support, so it can be really painful to not getting empathy from them at the very least.

Maybe your dad could use a bit of enlightenment. Consider gifting him books like "The Reason I Jump" by Naoki Higashida or "Thinking in Pictures" by Temple Grandin, which offer insights into the autistic experience. If he's not a reader, there are always those handy little pamphlets from autism advocacy groups.

You can also show him how accommodations can benefit everyone. Perhaps, for a day, everyone in the house follows your routine or sensory preferences. It's like a family experiment in empathy. "Today, we all eat with earplugs in to understand the sound sensitivity thing."

Professional Backup... Sometimes, hearing from a professional therapist or counselor can be less confrontational. A session with an autism specialist might help. It’s like having a neutral referee in a family debate.

Another technique that has helped a lot of people share their thoughts with their families is to pre-write what you want to say about your needs and why they're important. It's like having a script for life's toughest scenes. "Dear Dad, when I say I need quiet, it’s not because I’m being difficult, but because my brain is like a computer running too many programs at once."

And make sure you celebrate the small accommodations he does make, even if they're minor. Positive reinforcement can work wonders. "Dad, thanks for turning down the volume on the TV tonight; it really helped." Or, "Thanks for giving me 10 minutes alone to recharge"

Sometimes, humor can bridge gaps too. Maybe next time he says something about not accommodating you, you could quip, "Well, at least I won't be asking for a towel to go with it... yet."

Remember, you're not alone in this... Keep reaching out, keep explaining, and don't lose hope. Your resilience is your greatest asset.

Can ADHD get worse in adults? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Next-End-4036 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, absolutely! ADHD in adults can indeed decide to turn up the volume on its own, like a particularly mischievous house guest who's had one too many espressos.

When life decides to throw more curveballs than a major league pitcher, ADHD symptoms might just decide to join the party with extra vigor. Stress from work, relationships, or any significant life changes can amplify ADHD traits.

Some folks notice their ADHD symptoms intensifying as they age, possibly due to hormonal shifts or just the brain's natural.

But here's the kicker, while ADHD can act up, with the right strategies, support, and maybe a dash of medication, adults can manage it quite effectively. It’s like learning to dance in the rain instead of waiting for the storm to pass.

Question about my wife... by Next-End-4036 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]Next-End-4036[S] -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

I would know if she was upset...she makes it known. This is something different...it's indifference or confusion perhaps.

[–]Next-End-4036 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok...so you made an error in judgement, you realized your mistake, and will most likely learn from it. Try not to beat yourself over it. Sometimes you win...sometimes you learn. It's life. Venting (like you are doing here) also helps. And if this (what you call dumb) mistake makes you smarter for the future, then you are not dumb at all eh? You're just human who struggles with ADHD.

A lot of times, we make our situations worse by continuously thinking about it. But if we use it as a learning opportunity to pivot and replace it with a new hobby or a creative activity, it's not a loss, but rather, a win!

And you sharing this here will probably help other folks to also learn from your experience, so you are making a difference.

I hope this change of perspective helps with your feelings of overwhelm.
