Procrastination

[ProblemMe]

I don't know if I have autism or something similar, I have always felt different, just don't seem to fit in anywhere, struggled with consistency, communication friends, passion and memory, I know what I want to do, just can't seem to find the confidence to keep pushing, one thing that gets in the way is being criticised or feeling valueless. Most things are tailored towards the norm which I definitely don't fit into. I'm trying to build a directory website based on a British model for Thai Market as I have a Thai partner and son. Have started site, completing it is more about self belief than anything, I don't need a lot of help, maybe 30 mins a week, something like that, help if they had some wordpress /design knowledge, live around Sevenoaks, Kent area. Any thoughts or help would be gratefully appreciated, regards Peter Bradney

Hi Peter,

Not sure what it is you are asking? Are you wanting to know if a diagnosis would help? I have children either different diagnosis 's but, similar struggles. The first place to go would be your GP and explain how you feel. They can arrange a referral to autism services in your area for testing which usually starts with a questionnaire.

Re the help either your site: You could ask your local college if they think it would be something one of their students could help with as part of their work experience maybe?

Nearly 60,.not too worried about prognosis, only really interested in how to help my partner and children be taken care of if I regress further. If I can work towards some sort of financial stability I have an a wonderful partner, but can't just carry on as is as, need to work smarter towards future. I'm different not totally stupid, but people can't comprehend how my mind works and only see the negative not the fact I need different avenues of help that may seem bizarre or whatever to the norm. I keep trying different things but not found what I'm looking for yet, I don't need a lot of help, but an open mind is kinda needed

Ok, hopefully you can find someone to help with your site soon. I think sometimes a diagnosis can be helpful to help get support with things and help other people understand why we behave as we do to see it as different not wrong if that makes sense.
