It's a long thread...

Don't worry, it isn't you.

its me?

I don't understand the question mark.

I don't think it's you, lioness, really xD

phew okay

you can be capable of working but not have the energy to work long enough periods at a time for you to be able to work.

I could work now rather than apply for disability. And as soon as I find an employer who doesn't mind that i'll need at least a 4 hour nap after I do anything that requires exertion, even longer for things that require a lot of it like dishwashing, I'll revoke my application and get a job

My attention span is tremendously short.

It's true that people who are overweight are generally not as healthy. Also I notice a lot of smokers with jobs and they cost more to insure as well. I cost much less to insure because I don't smoke, am not overweight and do not have any physical health problems. I also do not take regular Prescriptions. I would cost less money.

Folks im sorry if I came off as offensive if you review my post's you'll see im not attacking anyone and the whole offended by LFA people I WAS NOT offended by all LFA's

I was offended by certain LFA's saying bathroom problems is associated with Autism which it isn't and thats there own issue they need to deal with outside of autism

Also the reason im so weirded out about the asperger people on disability is because I believe deep down that these people can and do work I know its possibel because I have worked

Did I like it? HELL NO!

Do I like it enough to where I would rathe do it then live on the street <-------- BINGO BINGO BINGO! did anyone teach you people on disability anything like you're parents for instance are they proud of you currently etc?

Getting a job isn't something you're going to love to do PERIOD

you people on disability are using aspergers as a crutch IMO now and making up complaints like "I hate being around people I know Im different and it sucks, or I can't get past a job interview"

Heres a hint GO take a shower then drive or have someone drive you to a McDonalds that has Now hiring sign, ask to meet with a manager an fill out an application and tell him to call you THATS IT then walk right out the door fill out the sheet an send it in I guarantee you will be hired especially some of you aspies in college saying you can't handle a job envioronment BUT U CAN HANDLE A CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT?

seriously now come on the same basic rules apply in a classroom then in a work environment and the same accommodation's can be made for both so I don't buy all your complaints about unable to function in work environment but do fine in school, thats just lazyness.

Working is not some magical mystical thing and gettin a job, that only NT's can do. It's not only Aspies that have problems interacting wiht people its everyone PERIOD theres tons of people who have prolem's they dont all just say u know what i got turned down 40 times for different job's this month lets just go to the welfare office no they keep going and if they must they might have to live on the street or in a shelter till they can provide for themselves thats called life.

ProTosser, I think you don't really understand what the impairments that define AS as a DSM disorder are. If you did then you wouldn't of made the OP. If you were on the spectrum, you would. People like you in the workplace are the reason so many of us have trouble holding down a job. Hmmm... Hey guys, troll, twat or tosser? You decide...

Okay I hear your complaint and I cannot speak for the Aspies who are on disability because it has nothing to do with me and what does it matter what I think of them?????


BUT I can tell you what sucks FAR MORE THAN THEM BEING ON DISABILITY...

IT'S THE DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES OF THE AVERAGE EMPLOYER WHO WON'T GIVE AN ASPIE (OR ANYONE ELSE SEEN AS DIFFERENT) A JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE!! !!

and furthermore:

AROUND HERE:

One has to be humiliated by going to GOODWILL just to get a job and getting the job through them. NOW MIND YOU I am NOT bashing GOODWILL or ANYONE WHO GETS A JOB THROUGH GOODWILL so don't label me "troll". I am just saying...WHY is it I cannot JUST WALK IN FILL OUT AN APPLICATION GO THROUGH THE INTERVIEW PROCESS AND GET A SPONTANEOUS JOB OUT OF IT JUST LIKE ANY OTHER JOE BLOW SCHMOW ON THE STREET????

this is the real crux of the problem dear ProToss X....

I shouldn't HAVE to go to GOODWILL because DUUUUH I am not disabled but the cretins who do the interviewing will not hire me.

WHADDYA HAFF TO SAY TO THAT????????
