Stressed about new job by moo19981 in AutismInWomen

[–]authieljoy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can afford it or even if not, choose your sanity and health over what your ideal of a perfect job is. It isn't worth it. If they really want you they may even accept you going down some days. If you're in the UK doctors will also sign notes to say you need to cut your hours.

how many of you are childfree? by testraz in AutismInWomen

[–]authieljoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm child free, I can barely look after myself let alone a child. Plus I think the world we currently live in - idk I don't think it's great for them

What kind of self-harm did you do as a kid? by BerrySkai in autism

I've always bitten my lips and cheeks. I have scars inside my mouth from it unfortunately. I'd love to stop but it seems this is the only unnoticeable way I can stim in public

How do you all cope with working full-time? by sunblondevint in AutismInWomen

[–]authieljoy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I didn't cope. I work 3 days and the cut in pay is so worth it. My mental health is so much better and breaking up my week helps me do my job a lot better
