| I started this thread becuase I was curious as to why people with Aspergers say they can't work. I can understand why some are not able to, and legitimately apply for government benefits. However, I must say that it quite reasonable to have considerable doubts as to the status of some here, due to ... |

I would never think that after being on this forum for a while. I've seen people here that seemed ... |

| Those of you who would like to work, but feel that you are unable or unfit to work, what are the main reasons according to you? What could be done for you to be able to work? What would that require from the working life? How we could change it? I have severe sensory issues. If I could get a 100% t... |

| In my opinion most people with Asperger’s should be able to work. The main reason for the situation to be the opposite for some is probably hidden in the values and social norms of our society and job markets rather than in the disorder itself. I do not fully see such a reason in a large scale inhe... |

| Why don't you go online, and check out the many (probably thousands by now) websites devoted to helping people make money without a regular job? Just be entrepeneurial, persistent, dedicated, and hard working, and something should turn up. Yes, I know, it's a whole lot easier said than done, but i ... |

| I just saw the following article on the Internet. I am not saying that people with Aspergers don't have some problems, but why can't they get out there and work? I agree with you 100%. You have some serious balls posting this here, given how others who had similar sentiments were bashed. I have AS,... |

| I "got out there" and tried to do what I had to do to support myself. What I got for it was 20 years of stress, four failed attempts to get through college (burning out so badly on three of those occasions I was not able to function properly for months afterward), and approximately 18 months of act... |

| It seems to take me longer to process things mentally than most people, and yes it's certainly been noticed by others...not everyone is very understanding about it though. , You may very well be an introvert, and perhaps even an extreme one such as myself. There is no diagnosis for people such as m... |
