Another OT here! The admin/report writing can be a struggle, but I really enjoy the creativity, problem solving and advocating for others.

Both, lucky me.

Being self employed was a game changer. I run a charity, basically. Was always a terrible employee but am very good at developing new ideas and keeping volunteers engaged.

I’m an OT. We’re a pretty neurodiverse bunch.

What are your interests?

My dd works 8 hrs in retail for the cash but also as a freelance artist but that work is hit and miss. However she loves it.

There is no way she could work full time in retail though. The pip changes really concern me.

The govt don't understand autism at all. It's clear. (As well as many other conditions).

I have ADHD and am an admin at a university. Enjoy my job as I have a really supportive team who understand what I need and trust me to crack on with things in my own little way.
