If so why would I take their advice on how to get a job. We don’t move through the world like NTs and that would be forcing us to use our weaknesses instead of our strengths. Why don’t we have successful autistics telling us how to maximize our strengths. Our strengths energize us, focus us snd make us amazing. Working like a NT would deplete us. Am I the only one that does not get this?

Anyone have contacts on the East coast for we creative types in the graphics field? I’ve been unemployed nearly a year now, though I wrote a young adults dino book & created a line of dino t shirts.

What do you suggest regarding the section on Disabilities?? Should I say “Yes” and indicate autism or “No”. My symptoms are not that profound – pretty much lean toward being a normal introvert, but every time I get to this section of the questionnaire, I wonder what the best response is. Thanks!!

The difficulties of disclosing are real, but I can attest that when you do find a workplace that is understanding and willing to work with you it makes all of the difference. Be willing to grow and expand out but recognize when you need to return to your comfort zone.

It’s the most standard, anywhere and everyone on the internet type of advice about looking for a job. Thanks but yeah what?

I am 52. Failed at every job I had. I was good and happy with my jobs. The problem is I don’t fit in a social gathering. I tried and never found a buddy. The last place I worked at was the worst bullying work environment I had been in. When I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety (my asperger’s symptoms have not diagnosed by a doctor). Anyway, I forget to mention that my boss was the biggest bully of the group. So, I told him about my diagnosis. The bullying from my co-workings and him became worse. I was not aware that human resources could help me keep my job. This bullying at work came at the same time as I was going through a difficult time in my personal life. I had to quit, I became crippled by my depression and anxiety. I am currently unemployed even after years of therapy, medication, and trying part-time jobs. I haven’t given up in having a job, I’ve thought many times applying for a job. That thought puts me into a panic attack. I have been, for years now, looking for a legitimate company that hires people to work at home. I just finding scams.

No one wants to be around someone who is socially awkward. I feel like I’m diseased at a work place and must be removed.
