I would consider looking into attending something like autscape or The National Autistic Society does similar but more professional thing with speakers and I would think they would cater for autistic adults better. Just my thoughts on the matter!

Sorry I’m here talking in riddles (I’ve not had enough sleep in 2 days) my job is changing and I’ve got to take my motorbike in for a service and I’ve just found something that’s ripped me over the edge but not over the edge because I have to hold it together!

Now there’s just what’s happening with work, but thanks sometimes just writing it all down does help!

Flatlander 17 Apr 12:55pm, 17 Apr 2024 3,204 posts	0 Flatlander I did go to that Autism Celebration day event at the school last Friday. I didn't attend all the talks just a selected few, and those ones were quite interesting, especially the architect's one. If anyone is interested, I blogged about the talks, although it is possible that you already know about the topics.
jelly 17 Apr 1:37pm, 17 Apr 2024 6,503 posts	0 jelly I’ll take a look later as I’m always interested in this type of thing! I follow a woman on Facebook called The Autism Coach! I get emails too. There’s a free workshop coming up in 30th April called The Autistic Identity which sounds really good, I’m thinking of signing up! Work has settled a bit but there are big changes going on which had me on high alert! They are cutting our 4 on 4 off nightshift down to one team over 5 nights. There were only 6 spots on nights but after scoring I’ve got one! My new hours are 9:30-6:30pm so I gain a few hours in the evening! I’m working 3 nights as I’ve been part time (2 shifts) for almost 3 years! 3 nights will equate to what I was doing over 2 nights! It’s annoying because I like to go to dance class Tuesday nights and I’ve opted to work but if I really wanted I could go dancing and then straight to work! I just need to settle into the new routine first!
