Good day,everyone!
Today my therapist told me she strongly suspects I'm on the spectrum, "and she doesn't need a test to tell her so". I've thought so too, for a long time. I'm 49, female, and the magic bullet of "self-confidence", or whatever it was the people around me thought I needed, never came. So here I am. My central problem right now is work. I was a medical transcriptionist for 23 years and voice recognition technology has degraded that profession to the point that there is no security anymore and it is becoming poorly paid. I'm a medical scribe now and have been for six months. I work on the computer mostly, but there is pressure to be accurate and fast and my interpersonal communication skills are not great. I would love to work alone in some sort of craft, or as a translator. I'm a very verbal learner. Unfortunately I've got to support myself and there seems little time for language study, and I don't want to study only to be supplanted by machine translation. All right, that's it.
