I am 18 years old, have autism, Epilepsy and ADD. My mom is having a hysterectomy soon. Worry I can not do everything on my own. My stepdad is lives with us also but he might forget to give me meds sometimes, I want to do everything myself but I might give myself too much medicine, maybe my mom can tell me, but it is hard. I do not know if I am just too lazy. But I know me not looking in the mirror a lot is normal for autistic people, but then some autistic people care too much about how they look. I am in this transition program till I am 21, so I get services from the state right away or fast, so I am still going to be volunteering and working on those skills and getting help a few times during the time my mom has surgery, but there are a few days I am going to have to worry too. I also have a friend who I have been friends with since I was 4 who is probably coming up and will stay with me too during the days my mom is in the hospital, so that will help too, but it will be hard when she leaves when my mom is home cause my mom still will not be able to do everything.
