Are you refering to the habit of repeatedly asking new questions about how to solve his problems and then dismiss all the advice he gets? :wink:

Not exactly/solely, but I don’t want to go into it. It’s probably just a coincidence.

Not being able to get a good paying job sucks. f**k my autism.

Having a good job doesn’t necessarily mean that one will be happy. Sometimes people can have lucrative careers and be miserable. Sometimes people can be poor but happy.

Finding something you enjoy doing and can do might be a better goal for a lot of us. I had a decent career for a while but was utterly miserable nonetheless.


This is very true. I've spent ten years of my life trying all manner of things trying to get a decent career no matter the cost so that I can help give my parents and sister a good life.

I am now in a role that I can do my duty but after a year I am finding the role not enough for me.

I'm grateful I am able to fulfil what I have sworen to do. I however wish for a role that challenges me further and I can contribute more.

Therapy doesn't work for me. I've tried it.
My parents made me go to therapy when I was younger. One time, when I was 12, I pulled a fire alarm and ran away, because I was scared of the therapist and didn't want to tell him anything.

Ok. I have to bite. What do think is a good job that you are capable of doing? What kind of work would you like to do?

Either truck driving or warehouse management.

Do you have a driver's licence?

That's the sort I had in mind. A lot of people on here haven't been able to get a licence so congrats.
Hopefully you'll be able to get the CDL too.

Starting slow, if you could get yourself yo put up with the kids? Some Bus services will provide training for a Commercial
license.Also the local airport is looking for nightdhift drivers regularily, where I live. Their buses are rather long.And big.
And they provide free training...And my friend who is undiagnosed ASD...Has grown to like her job..And they her .
Even made her part time night shift Superbisor a year ago. Her hardest thing to do besides learning to be a driver is occassionally she helps get suitcases in the racks.Before she drives them a few blocks to the rental car places. and repeat. She got her CDL through the bus company.
