Type 2 Life

They say you need a certain amount of stress is good for your health and that too much is no good so you cant win. It makes it so much easier when your workplace is supportive @hankjam I am lucky in my job as I can choose when I want to work which is great.
 
I'm lucky in some ways and unlucky in others - I gave up work when I had my son, not realising he had special needs. To cut a long story short, his difficulties at school meant I was unable to get a job. After he turned 16, my Income Support was stopped and I had to claim Jobseekers Allowance. I've now been claiming that for 6 years and still no sign of a job One the one hand, we have no money but on the other hand I get to spend plenty of time with my son. He goes to college 3 days a week and I have 2 voluntary jobs so we are kept well occupied. Being a volunteer also means I can take time off whenever I need to, both my managers are very understanding
 
I too gave up work when our son was diagnosed at 3 1/2 yrs old diagnosis wasn't easy to get in these days (24yrs ago) However, like Diamum I continued in voluntary work when I could and hubby and I started a support group in our area which helped to keep us sane. What do you think about starting a thread for parents of ASD kids where we could have a chat- and a moan if necessary? @hankjam @4ratbags @Diamum5972
 
I like the sound of that
 

Hi All
I'm good with this idea. Thanks @13lizanne
I think Type 2 Life covers the whole bit, so I think we are okay but a new thread might well float other folks.

A high 7.2 this morning late dinner last night and chest infection not helping. Been up coughing lots during the night.
 
Good, at least the are going to do something for you - this has gone on for far too long. Hope you have a better day today
 
Thanks for starting the thread Lizanne, I just popped over there. It's been quite a productive morning, I had another 6.9 and I've found an excellent hotel for our trip. I get paid next week so I'll be able to book our rooms then
