I created this group after battling with the school regarding my son’s behaviors in kindergarten. He had ADHD but was not yet diagnosed with autism. I requested an IEP and they determined he is on the autism spectrum. He’s wicked smart, but has sensory issues. After studying autism more, I realized I share many of his characteristics. I also have ADHD, which is controlled with medication. Any others out there who have or think they may have autism?

As of late, my work related anxiety has reached new levels and it’s really starting to affect me mentally. I’m part of a great team; I’m trusted and supported, have a great track record, there are no issues, and have been no incidents. Regardless, my professional self perception and confidence is so rattled as of late, it’s almost like a paralysis at times. I realize there are much larger problems right now, but if anyone has any tips or advice to get over this, I am all ears. Thanks all!

I buy things I don’t need and don’t know how to fix it. I always blamed it on “drunk buying” but I’ve been sober for 355 days and it persists. I know I buy things in an effort to fill a void and try to feel something so I buy “things” but it doesn’t help and I know it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Sometimes a sub for help, sometimes not. I love the kids, but really?

Thank you to those who have joined. Does anyone have anything they are struggling with at work that they believe may be an issue due to autism?

I still struggle with networking. In my position, I’m involved in a number of task forces which often have social events so the team can meet and get to know each other in person. These events often take place in crowded places and I am so anxious and focused on masking that I can’t remember people’s names and I’m afraid I come across closed off as a result. Anyone have any tips for navigating these?

Has anyone learned any tricks to help block out office noise and busyness? I am a solo now so it isn’t as much of an issue at this point, but when I worked for a firm I listened to music on my headphones a lot but keeping the door closed was frowned upon as “unsocial.”
