| I find I really struggle with planning and organization this is by far my most disabling ASD related issue, although sensory issues and chronic irritability are a close second. I have read this is common with ASD individuals. What are your guys experiences with planning and organizational deficits? |

| Something I feel like I don't deserve a support worker to help with daily living skills and other accomidations I mean my Iq is average so I should be functioning better. I feel like using supports that I don't deserve. I am also afraid of losing these supports. Does any one else feel like this? |
