Yes yes yes! Most of my life I have worked or volunteered in areas having to do with struggling brains/struggling lives in one aspect or another. That is also been a huge purpose in my life... being I did not have kids... I have the time to be very involved. The bad news... financially it's always been pretty much a struggle. Even with my financial struggles, it has been totally rewarding in so many ways!
I've tried "regular" jobs and my biggest issue was to see business people getting overly intense about things that - in my view - do not matter that much - to me. I'm not wasting my emotions on things I do not think are important... and those people should not hire me either - LOL
You will bring empathy to the table because of what you have been through. Good Luck!!!!
