Hi, my name is onearmlady! I'd love to get my daughter into a working environment

Hi @onearmlady Welcome to the community! It sounds as though you've got quite a lot on your plate at the minute, so thanks for sharing your experiences with us today.

Firstly, I'm sorry to hear that you're finding life quite stressful at the moment. Is there anything that you think could help to make life a little easier, apart from helping your daughter access some employment? How is your mental health at the moment? Did your operation go well?

In terms of helping your daughter to access some employment, there is help out there. Scope actually have a few employment services that specialise in helping disabled people to access work and succeed in the workplace. Perhaps you could take a look through with your daughter and see if there are any she's interested in accessing? 

Have you spoken to your daughter about the possibility of employment? Is this something she's keen to give a go? You mentioned that she doesn't have any hobbies at the moment. Has she ever tried volunteering? This can be a good way of trying out different roles, without the pressure of it being a paid job. Volunteering can also increase people's confidence, help them learn new skills, and looks great on a CV. There are lots of ways of finding volunteering opportunities, but doit.life might be a good place to start.

Is your daughter receiving enough support for her autism, ADHD, and anxiety at the moment? 

Sorry for all of the questions!
