I worry at times. I have classic autism, OCD, ADHD, visual impairment, chronic basilar migraines, visual vertigo and several other conditions. I am not experiencing as many behavioural symptoms now, but if I'm triggered to have a meltdown, say by overload, I can have extreme challenging behaviour. Last year I got sectioned by the police and they needed five officers to deal with me as I was having an extreme meltdown in public.

I am only partially verbal. That, with my other difficulties and conditions, mean I am not ready to work. Also, although I have very high intelligence, I am otherwise developmentally at a 13 year old level. I can't even go shopping alone, fill in a form or use a bank. So how can I just go and work.

It is scary.

	PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student. I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out. I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included. Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
