Self stigmatising avoidant mode

#ActuallyAutistic #SMI In full self stigmatising ,avoidant mode. Was exchanging messages with someone on Twitter. It was fine till they asked about my occupation. It’s the question I dread. The feelings of guilt and shame it gives rise to because due to ASD & SMI I’ve never worked.

yes. I fear this question as well. I heard at some point in my 30’s of someone saying they were on a fixed income. This sounds better to me than saying I am not employed. Anyone?
