What's on your mind right now?

Lockdown in the town where I got bullied would be a female driven economy cos it's easier to work from your bed than it is to nick your own telly...

I've been working on improving my Spanish with Rosetta Stone, and sometimes I can know what all the words and sentences mean, but I can't figure out what is going on in the pictures!

Right now the song Good for You by Dear Evan Hansen is on my mind. Also Dinosaur nuggets for some reason.

Approaching the 'end' game phase of this dragging tutorial

Finding a job is way more difficult for an Autistic person than a normal person.
Employers are more likely going to employ a person that fits in and gets along with work colleagues. Basic repetitive jobs that require little or no education are best suited for people with Autism. A college education is a disadvantage to employment and a waste of time/money for an Autistic person. College graduates have to compete in graduate programs that are more designed for normal socially adept people.

From where I came from, the person needs 2-4 years of college course to be in a fast food crew.
Or be a waiter in a restaurant. Or some saleslady or a cashier. Or hell, sometimes a janitor in some malls.


Might as well describe what's normal here.
Anyone here can just be a high school graduate, skip to abroad, earn 10x as much.

I don't know if I'll really be back here.

Maybe someday all the research in the world will be enough. Until then.

Diagnosed with Autism. Is there any chance of getting free money from the government and all the entitlements associated with having a disability?

My experience was that there were kids who were aspie-like (NT but still: studious, rule abiding, non-bullying) in top sets and NT brats in bottom sets and the NT brats liked bullying the aspie kids. Then the NT brats, if they went onto jobs, went into stuff like hairdressing, fast food etc and the top set kids who were more gentle went onto sixth form and uni. So it's best to just follow the top set kids into there.

Then hopefully your skills are in tech. If so they won't be as prejudiced against autistic people.

If not then at least you've got years of freedom from bullies behind you before you attempt library jobs and things like that.

I was always a big reader and a studious person who liked learning, a teetotaller in adult years. I can't work now but work isn't the be-all and end-all and it meant my mental health issues were separated out better and I had some years being happy and learning. If the library sector hadn't been cut then I'd have been happy all my life doing work in a library. And most libraries have natural lighting etc not like the sensory hell that is fast food.

Really sick of my job. The work is very dull. The projects are disheveled. The people above me are always swamped so I have to wait forever for them to get stuff back to me.

I'm supposed to be writing a report, but it has to be based on another report done by an outside department. Their report is a mess. Almost unusable. It hasn't been updated for several months. I'm told there's a newer version but we can't get access to it (because of dumb bureaucratic reasons?), so I just have to put it off just to take on something else that'll surely have similar problems.

I just want to have an interest in what I'm doing. I thought I could muster up interest in what we're doing but it's just so freaking boring! There's not enough science, the reports don't follow technical writing rules, I have to ask for the units associated with values far too often (like seriously, WTF), and I'm constantly waiting on co-workers (making way more than me) to get things done.

In hindsight, this may qualify for the rants thread...
