    Autism and Health Problems

    Thank you for the response! I'm sorry you have had to go through all of that. I relate to what you went through with your mom and I definitely think looking into disability, even temporarily, would probably be a good idea. Especially if you're worried about your health and not being able to...

    Autism and Health Problems

    I ended up getting diagnosed with Bipolar. I think not being able to regulate my ASD is also what set mine off. Too many things changed at once and it sent me into an episode.

    Autism and Health Problems

    I appreciate the response. I'm not super familiar with what causes me to burn out or have meltdowns, so it may not even be the job itself causing it. I'm at the point where I'm not really sure how to move forward. I tried applying for at home jobs. I couldn't even make it to the point of...

    Autism and Health Problems

    Hello everyone! I appreciate all the replies and positive feedback to my post! I was offline last week, so it may take me a bit to catch up on replying, but I do plan to respond to everyone. I'm super clumsy, I have a lot of issues with balance and moving around without crashing into things...

    Autism and Health Problems

    I appreciate the response, sorry for the late reply. I had a lot come up this past week. I feel that on the jobs. Most of my bosses have liked me. I do everything I should when I'm there, I just end up missing a ton of work and then I get to anxious to go back because I'm afraid they'll fire...

    Autism and Health Problems

    Hey! Sorry for the late reply, I had a lot of stuff come up this past week. I thought it might be Meniere's disease. I went to an ENT and he told me it wasn't vertigo and referred me to a neurologist. It's definitely possible that he was wrong, I'll have to keep looking into it. I stop...

    Autism and Health Problems

    I appreciate it. It's nice being able to talk to people who understand. HFA is hard, I don't fully understand it myself sometimes. Some days I'm fine, but other days I can't do things that I normally can. Just depends on the day and I don't know how to explain it to the people around me because...

    Autism and Health Problems

    I might have to look into that. I'm 2 years sober and so far it hasn't helped the migraine situation. Usually stresses causes the headaches, but I get dizziness that I've been told is also migraines. The dizziness seems to be pretty random. I'm sure that's probably a major part of it. I tend...

    The Post a Photo of Yourself Thread

    Thank you! Honestly that sounds a lot more fun than prom, I wish I would've done that. My first prom was a wreck. My boyfriend at the time totalled his car on his way to pick me up. Wasn't a great way to start the night lol. I ended up finding out he had been cheating on me not too long after...

    How do you deal with shutdowns?

    I really like animals and I have a lot of pets. It doesn't always work, but sometimes when I'm shutting down (or already shut down) my Fiancé lets my ferret out to play. Watching my ferret play usually helps pull me out of it. Maybe one of your special interests would help, if you have any. I...

    Autism and Health Problems

    Hello! My name is Haley and I'm new here. I apologize if anything I say is offensive. This is mostly a rant, but I'm hoping someone relates. Maybe we can all feel less alone. I'm 23 (24 on May 29th) and I got diagnosed with autism a month before my 22nd birthday. I have also been diagnosed...

    The Post a Photo of Yourself Thread

    Hello, my name is Haley. I graduated from High School when I was 16 so I only got to go to one of my proms and it was a pretty bad experience. My friend felt bad so he asked me to go to his senior year prom with him. This is one of my photos before prom.
