Much to learn.

Being somewhat new to the ASD world of realisation, and still waiting on an assessment-as if that will give me permission to be ‘me’
Officially.

I didn’t realise how little seems to be available for those in my situation.

I can cope, until I can’t.


Where is that little book of survival skills for Aspies entitled “what to do when it all goes to sh•t?”

Has anyone written one yet?
Not wanting deep and meaningful and wandering off topic to tell me about the many,many experiences of people I’ll never meet,

Perhaps a reference guide, full of instruction. “If this happens, try this, if this doesn’t work try that”
“Contact this organisation if such and such happens”
...and maybe a few word search puzzles for the visually discriminate to quell frustration.


I’ve just had my third job rejection.
Back to the drawing board and “onto the next” as someone recently said to me.

I’ve also found the calming effects of C.B.D oil somewhat beneficial (for now)
Has no psychogenic effects that I can discern (very,very low amounts of THC)
Personally increases my wanting to sleep and eat
(Not at the same time ...messy bed covers :) )

At a time when I need to do both in order to take care of myself, in my mind, it’s a positive.

If anyone knows where that reference guide can be found, I’ll take a copy. Keep going on the job hunt, theres something perfect out there waiting for you to stumble accross it :)

Thanks Nibs. :)
I’ve stumbled across pretty much everything else in my life to date.
(Some awesome experiences)

I keep on thinking to myself, “I’ll know it when I see it”
(Job)
Difficult to study or train for a random opportunity.
