"This is a feeling I battle with frequently. I'm autistic, claim PIP and universal credit, and can only work part time if I don't want to burn out and have a breakdown (again). The frustration at not being able to achieve the very basics without A LOT of support is huge.

If I hadn't had children, for example, or if I'd been born 30 years later and had a diagnosis and relevant support from a young age. As it is, being autistic in the life that I have limits what I can cope with. Growing up knowing I wasn't 'quite right' and not understanding why has contributed to these feelings of ineptitude (I was diagnosed at 36) and that's hard to shake off. I'm sure there are autistic people who don't feel frustration and sadness when they can't achieve what their peers do so effortlessly, but I suspect they are a minority. | |||
