Being diagnosed made me more aware of issues that I wouldn’t have previously recognised. I’ve noticed that sometimes when I felt overwhelmed, I generally didn’t realise that it may be due to sensory overload. For instance I could be wearing clothes that are too itchy or too tight, and the...

Topic. Had an email today based on an online application on Indeed.co.uk a few weeks back, if the phone interview is successful, I will be invited to a face to face interview at the shop. IMO this one might be more suitable than the Sorting Office job I'm interviewing for next week, as I have...

It's been a month since my last update, which was rather bleak. A lot has happened in the mean time. For one, I started seeing a psychiatric nurse and a psychologist at my local health care crisis center. Usually wait lists are up to 8 months here, but I had the mixed blessing of being so...

Topic. Just confirmed the interview by email for the Tuesday after next at 10 AM at First Post House, Brightside Lane at 10 AM. If it's where I think it is, I'll need a lift or a Taxi there because it's not on the Tram route between Town and Meadowhall. Anyway! Go me! I have an interview for a...

So I applied to ASDA (Walmart to the Americans) this Wednesday, and yesterday I got an email saying they weren't taking my application further, sorry but I cannot workevenings or nights, especially not in the Chav infested s5. I also got an email this morning from WH Smith's, "after careful...

In this sleep-deprived ramble, I'll be complaining about people who complain about people who complain. That is, people who find complaining objectionable in some way, shape, or form. If there's one way I feel stifled, one way in which I feel I am not free to express myself, it's when I find...

Still no news! I'm expecting an email from Game this week because I put that I can attend interviews any Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday from this week. And I applied to what might've been the perfect position last week, paid position in a Charity shop in Hillsborough, Sue Ryder, a Cancer charity...

Watching this ep makes me so sad but Halloween season means almost-Christmas season so it's a must see. It's sad knowing that Scully not only lost her daughter Emily that she barely knew but also finds out in 2018 that William isn't Mulder's and belongs to the Cigarette Smoking Man by means of...

Topic. Applied to the Co Op in Crookes, and also the Lego Store in Meadowhall, and a job working as a PA (Personal Assistant) for disabled children, well I printed off the application form for that but I might not fill it in and send it back, the job requires a driver ideally, and I don't drive...

I have a class tonight, Intro to Improv. Next Sunday, I'll be meeting with my group of autistic theatre friends as well. Yay me! Now I'll go back and try to watch an anime!

Topic. My "Work and Enterprise Coach" at Autism Plus sent me a link yesterday to apply for it and I had a punt on the temporary "Seasonal Assistant" position. The only problem with temporary work is that it would probably be a pain in the bum with the Benefits Office, it would take them the...

Won £25 (works out about $30 at current exchange I think) on the National Lottery Saturday night, and then today I bought a £1 scratch card and won £2. In disappointing news, I got an email rejection yesterday from WH Smith's at Crystal Peaks! I applied for a job out there last week via...
