I wanna ask for some advice, but I’m not really sure how so I’ll try to explain and I’ll let you jump in however you feel is suitable.

To preface I’m on the autism spectrum - high functioning, but not without struggles.

I’ve lost a lot of jobs because of the side effects, because of people’s biases, or because of my own misunderstandings, and that’s exhausting and incredibly disheartening.

I’m tired of it. Tired of not being able to provide for my family tired of feeling like I’m being rejected every time I try something tired of not understanding. I really really want to do something on my own. I want to be my own boss. But at the same time, I’m terrified because I don’t know how to do that. I don’t know where to begin legally I don’t know how to find customers. I don’t know how I would fund myself. I don’t even know what idea to choose.

@tiaugn

Would it be possible to see an OT that specializes in neurodivergent adults?

That might be a good starting point.

I have family members who also are misunderstood it's so so hard.

@KazzyH for sure something I could look into but as of yet I haven’t found any resources like that in my area that really made a difference. The few places I tried made me feel like there was no difference between using them and applying on my own.
