Work.

I am trying to navigate this myself! All of my past jobs worked me too hard, though I didn't understand it until I self-diagnosed - then it all made sense. I would behave very differently at work than at home, because the jobs taxed me so much that it would bring out all my worst stressed out aspie traits. I am not sure if I can handle going back into that kind of environment again. Right now I am looking for different type of work....but I am already burned out, so everything will be hard to stay on top of. To other people, my past jobs may have seen easy/simple - but they weren't to me - loads of executive function required. It's one thing to be technically good at something and just do that, another to do all the executive functioning part of it.
