Sorry for not posting for 2 months. Been busy. Busier than I expected to be 2 months ago.
Further to my 'assessment' for Incapacity Benefit, I passed. Passed, that is, fit to work. To be ill, I had to score 10. I scored 5. I doubted their methodology, but it seems they were right. I got a (minimum wage) job 2 weeks ago, and it's not been easy. The work is easy. But the people. The people are difficult. I no doubt have been building a reputation as an uncommunicative weirdo there. I'm resigned to this. Such things happen wherever I go. I no longer expect anything from anyone, let alone sympathy and understanding
I had a meeting with my psychiatrist 3 weeks ago. I've been referred to the Sheffield Asperger Syndrome Service to see if they can spot the bats flapping round my head. I got sent a large questionnaire for a close relative to fill out, and directions to the place for an appointment to see them at the end of January.
My life is not easier, just difficult in new ways.

Hey, This is Ikari Shinji from psychforums. Just wanted to tell you that I understand how difficult it can be to deal with people but remember that most of the time it's just our fears getting the best of us so don't let that bring you down. It's good that you found a job too. The only way to deal with these fears is by actually confronting them... even if it is hard to do.
