| The reasons I gave for my complaint were: They asked me for passwords to my job search accounts so they can apply to jobs on my behalf. I gave them my password but felt really uncomfortable. I have since changed it. They also completely misrepresented me saying I have over 20 years experience with e... |

| I know that I can do a job well, but I am really struggling to get past interviews. A lot of the time I struggle to think on the spot and elaborate. Not sure if this a common symptom of autism. I found an organisation who helps people with autism into jobs, but it's only for under 25 year olds. I am... |

| Very early on. It's not so much people don't like me, I just don't feel I'm a friend material. I don't connect well with others so get left out. |

| I made the mistake of telling a relative I got diagnosed with autism. My mum was casually talking about someone (not in a good way) with them, and they immediately jumped to the conclusion that said person “must be autistic”. If they hear of someone doing something bad, the relative immediately has ... |

| Thank you all for the responses. Turns out I was coming down with something which is probably why I was feeling extra sensitive to sounds. |

They clearly have received the report from the ASD specialists but the admin team are saying they haven't and won't let me get a word in to say I can ... |
