I think my best option is to try to get consulting work. It’ll be 2 years in February that I’ve been unemployed. They say it leads to crime, or degradation, but honestly I don’t feel that.

It’s hard to consider myself high functioning because I’ve been unemployed for too long, and everything that makes me pass for neurotypical is consciously thought out, so it’s exhausting. At a training even...

I just found out about this site, via a friend who shared a video, that included mention of it. In the UK we seem to have resources for Autistic people, like the National Autistic Society. I serve as an advisor for Project Aspie in Birmingham, and as a Trustee of Autistic Nottingham. I also serve on...
