Helloooo out there....

Post Reply New Topic

c3po here, 40 something married woman in Southern USA, not formally diagnosed with AS but feel very comfortable here after reading some of the posts. I have also taken a diagnostic test I found on the OASIS website, scored 39 with a score of at least 32 being a good indicator or AS (according to the test, of course.)

My main issue now is work related - I was recently downsized out of a mid-level clerical job after many years and I do have the option to go back to school to change career but am feeling a bit overwhelmed. Can any of you recommend jobs that are good for people with AS? My options for school are for 2 or 4 year program, nothing longer than that.
Thanks and hope to hear more later.

Hi c3po and welcome to the forum! I hope you like to stay and talk with us
Its great you got the option to go back to school. There was a discussion here lately around "best jobs for people with AS" or similuar
I hope you soon find what you looking for!

Yes, welcome, and I hope your look around proves beneficial!

welcome home, c3po! You coming here is a very good thing!

Welcome to the Wrong Planet neighborhood, c3po.

Welcome to WP!

Hi there, c3po and welcome to WP.

Thanks for the warm welcome, peeps!

Around here, in a town of about 40,000 with not much of an industry base, we seem to have about 1/4 of the adult population trying to get into our local college nursing program.
I am repeatedly advised to go that route and qualify based on my previous college work, but am having serious doubts about going that route myself. I saw some posts here from a young lady considering social work, am am leaning that way even though it would take longer. If you put me in a group or situation that has a clear purpose, I can communicate well, but not well just in everyday exchanges. I feel like I have a brain that works well, but not quickly enough for the situations a nurse may encounter.

If anyone here can offer insight or experience from an AS working in a medical field please do so, or if this needs to be moved to the work related forum, please advise.

Hello c3po,

Welcome to WrongPlanet!
I am also AS but don't really have experience in working in a medical field like nursing or social work, though my work experience is a little medical-related, since I am a psychologist, I am doing scientific research. I wish you good luck deciding which way to go for your future!

To WrongPlanet!! !
