I just want to be a good worker but everything overwhelms me and I work really slow. I'll never be able to match my neurotypical peers and it hurts. Autism has ruined my life in more ways than one and I can't do anything about it.

And ofc my special interest is something fucking stupid that I will never be able to make a career with. I struggle in school. I struggle at work. I struggle with day to day life. I’m so tired. I just want to be fucking normal

I feel that, I have to take a nap every time I get out of a lecture or do one or two productive things and it sucks so hard

this is so real, but- even if your special interest is something "stupid," the fact it exists means you could probably find a way to make a career out of it- like when my special interest was organs, i really wanted to be a doctor- and when it was music theory, i wanted to be a music professor or musician- and rn its lackadaisy, and im studying to become an animator- i find the way weather works so interesting, i could be a meteorologist- there's so many niche little opportunities out there ❤️❤️❤️
