want to keep working because it’s a normal adult thing to do. It’s who I am. Lots of us tie our identities to work.
"NORMAL" adult thing to do. What about you makes you see yourself as normal adult? People tie their identities to CAREERS, not just jobs.

That is the similar illogic thinking my EX-husband thought after graduating from college.....the "normal" thing to do is get married to the person you are dating at the time. He is definitely ASD & his broken thinking got him let go from his career jobs many times. His broken thinking was one of arrogance that he knew more than anyone especially his bosses. Spectrum conditions have different symptoms, same results from whatever inappropriate behavior that occurs. He never had friends because people could only tolerate his personality on a very limited basis. He was a computer engineer so he didn't have to work closely with anyone else but his attitudes were his downfall even now at his older age. Just glad I don't have to be anywhere around him
