It's a very frustrating situation for me lately to gain more part-time work. I know that my burnout and gaps between jobs might be 'deterring' to some employers--but it's no secret that we with autism sometimes have trouble holding down a job for a long time. Retail is my only option right now, but ...

I completely resonate with your words. My autism has hindered my performing abilities more times than I can count--specifically with auditions and live recitals, where I'm prone to succumbing to nerves, overload, and memory slips.

Hello there! Glad you're new here--I am, as well. Like you, I'm a musician, although early music is my bread-and-butter.

I also agree that I can listen at times but not wanting to spea...

Your thoughts are very valid. I remember early on in our relationship with my now fiancee, when we were apart from school over summer breaks, it would seem as though they didn't exist. Granted, we had about forty to fifty minutes between us both--I was and am the only individual with a car---and I w...

Hello, and greetings to all. I was recently diagnosed with autism late last year, as well as growing up with a documented learning disability. My interests include baking, driving (long, calm drives with no destination in mind...and all day to get there) as well as playing music, writing in my journ...
