I believe I'm a chartered individual in a health district. Im also a high functioning autistic individual who decompensates under stress and without access or knowing how to access a county expert in adults with high functioning autism. If there has been one, i may have missed them. My autism doesnt help me learn those kinds of things. In fact, the longer i wait under high stress and witjout knowing who is helping me or how i can help them facilitate my health, the less i'm able to keep up and go on doing my part. Im smart but not on those issues. I cant navigate paperwork or red tape. Those things are impossible for people with my kind of autism. Therefore, since im in county health care, who can i turn to when im feeling held back or if nobody will talk to me, or in a way i understand them? Time causes decompensation for me. Past that, im worried about homelessness and maybe suicide. Who is there for me to turn to? If theres an expert on adults with high functioning autism in the county system, PLEASE HELP ME. Im at a loss for how to find or achieve health for my specific symptoms. I dont want to decompensate and i dont know how to help myself or anyone else from this point. Im afraid for my life. Ive been going through hell for nearly 2 years with no leads that make clear sense on how i can progress.

Please feel free to contact me directly if youre a Tulare county health employee. Thanks in advance.
