| My last 11 years of employment were for state government in an admin capacity. Standard work week was 40 hours (5 eight-hour days). I did much better after requesting a shorter work week of 32 hours as a handicap accessibility - due to a fatigue condition, did not even know at the time that I had a... |

| No problem. Not sure what you do for work, but admin support of some kind at warehouses and factories usually get weekends off whether it's order entry or basic phone customer service, building the manifests for the drivers or whatever else.

| Not sure where you're at, but here in the states it's possible to get FMLA days for stuff like that. I haven't pursued it, but I happened to find an industry that actually entertains my mind in the best of ways. I used to deal very little with people and was made supervisor. I'm seriously consideri... |

| Welcome, I'm more interested in everyone's personal experiences and successes than the clinical aspect of Asperger's. Wise choice, IMHO. It's not that I have no interest in the science and clinical practice around autism, and there have been professionals that have helped me; but not half as much a... |

| Upon reading this title I couldn't help but think of this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwPDETH2Bn8 ...I knew some place you hadn't been... The Wrong Planet Forum! Now that the initial pun is out of the way, welcome. In my experience this forum isn't great for long reads, most of peoples po... |

| For those of you who have to work, how do you push through when you just don't feel like you have it in you any longer? I work 6 days a week and have been saying for the last 5 years that I need two days a week, back to back, in order to decompress and be able to handle the next work week. I've only... |

| ... at the age of 45! Even though I've worked with autistic children in the past, I wasn't educated enough to realize that I could be on the spectrum. After reading a Facebook post about the signs of female Autism, my jaw dropped. My entire life's memories came rushing in, but I actually felt free a... |
