Hi I'm Dua. I suffer from anxiety and have a lot of issues with my autism. I've not got any friends and I recently lost my job so struggling a bit.
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you! Sorry to hear you lost a job. What happened?
Money had been going missing so the boss had a meeting with me and said because of my Autism I wasn't ideal to be in charge of money so he thought I'd be better of elsewhere.
What country are you from? In America, blatantly saying that you can't do certain job because of your diagnosis is a discrimination against disabilities.
Besides, it is unfair to assume you can't handle money simply because you are autistic. Autism affects social skills *not* money skills. I think the assumption your boss made was that autistic people are less intelligent. But the very definition of high functioning autistic is that their intelligence is average or above. Yes some of them have some struggles but not all. So its unfair to assume you can't handle money simply because you are autistic.
