Have you ever felt like Asperger/Autism was beating you down

I felt like that during the summertime

I'm curious what you mean. Is there something specific?

Ummm like emotional, giving you hardship after hardship

I felt more worn out this summer. I think the sticky heat helps cause that.

Some days it seems like everyone is mad at me, other days the same people are smiling at me. At times people treat me like I'm a kid, other times they talk to me like an adult. Maybe the Aspie factor is why this seems to happen, I don't know.

I also don't know if you experience anything like this, or you mean something else entirely.

Not my Autism but my "co morbid" executive dysfunctions do at times.

My AS is worse in the employment world, and only affects me a little bit in all other areas of my life. If it does affect me outside my work life, it doesn't get me down as much (except occasionally when I get reminded how small my social life has often been).
But AS does bring me down at work. It makes me get really stressed over small things in the workplace, I get too sensitive if a feel a co-worker doesn't like me, I can behave unprofessionally when too stressed, I find it hard to think straight if I am behind schedule, I find it hard to naturally be detail-orientated unless I put my mind to it (which then makes me slow at my work), I sometimes find it hard to get up on work mornings and motivate myself, I get so tired for a young person, I worry about being forced to stay behind shift if I haven't finished everything, I feel worn out from the rules and pressure you get at work.....
