@Liveotherwise there's nothing like Autscape for validating the reality of your autism, if that's any help.
@ferrous I discussed going a while ago with one of my friends, but can't afford it anyway so it's academic.

@Liveotherwise dang. It is particularly expensive this year.

Have you looked at the bursaries though?

@ferrous I have difficulties asking for help/completing forms. Part executive function, part anxiety.

Yesterday's 90 minute work capability call was a lot of fun around those areas.

@Liveotherwise extremely relatable, alas.
@ferrous have never managed to get further than requesting PIP form 😂😭
