| It's one of those things I've never had in my life, since very early age - ambition. Absolute zero. I'm happy not owning much and I don't see the point of dedicating my free time to working towards some material stuff. I can see it as a giant character flaw, but I can't even talk myself into wantin... |

| So, I am going to do the unthinkable, I am changing employment. Still a customer service role, but a more technical one. Also, I was referred to it by a former coworker who knows how weird I am, so I hope the new place is autism- and weirdness-friendly. My question is what to do to succeed in a new ... |

| I ask people to turn it off and on again. More than 5 years in the role, and I can imagine retiring in it. |

| Because quite a few people with jobs don't want to work either but still do out of obligation and the need to earn a living. |

| People constantly ask me where I am from... now that I live in Ireland, they are occasionally right, but the guesses for Germans are all oer the map: English, French, Russian, various areas of Germany, "Nordic"... |

| I sometimes have moments where I have to first say what I want to say in a different language before expressing them in my native one. It is as my main language (German) shuts down and I need to kickstart it with Esperanto or English, which both are not my native languages. |

| "Must communicate effectively, both orally and in writing." I can see Aspies thrive with this one. From my experience, aspies formulate less ambiguously and say what they mean in a clearer way than many NTs. Of course, this is not true for everyone, but some aspies are quite eloquent, albeit occasio... |

| I know what you mean. Sometimes, I get that vague feeling in the absence of empirical evidence. My solution: Doing my job to the best of my ability. That will garner you respect.

Yoou are an EU citizen, use that to your advantage and search EUwide wherever your language knowledge permits you to work. A bit of weirdness from a foreigner is much more tolerated than from a "native".  |
