Need help with setting up social strategies and interpersonal skills as an ASD entrepreneur. I am 34 M from India, ASD diagnosed in July 2020, hopefully getting my ADHD diagnosis soon. I live alone for a host of personal reasons. I can support myself financially as I have some savings and I do a freelance writer and editor job for myself. I have struggle doing outreach for my business. I am often exhausted even simply by sending a templated script to my prospects. Cold messaging is hell for me, even I have come a long way from my worst RSD days. And applying to freelance gigs, getting rejected without feedback, is beyond stressful. I am also struggling with housework. I have never been so high functioning. I recently tried to hire a new cook for myself (I have a housemaid that takes care of cleaning around the house). But I mostly eat out which leads to higher expenses and worsens my anxiety. And I can't cook. I have tried a lot but I can't follow recipes. It takes 3-5x time and even then I end up burning a few dishes. But hiring cook dumped me into a social hell. Unprofessional domestic workers doing shit job. I'm exhausted doing both at the same time. I'd like my business to progress. I'd like to have time for my hobbies. I don't know what to do. My work life is stuck.
