| So you've had a bad time of it, you've quit your last job because the company converged and the new environment was horrible, they wanted to constructively make you leave, plus the girl you sat next to was making 'a project' out of you, analysing your every move, you've lost your confidence, your pr... |

| Indeed. The interesting part for me is the huge dynamic between these options - I am fairly confident and high functioning autistic person but recently I have that feeling of being 'unemployable', I live in Cambridge UK and there's this sense in the world of office jobs that it's a 'rat race' and th... |

| I feel for you Alex. I too am finding it hard in society to interact at work. I recently handed in my notice because I couldn't stand the environment but I am tenderly looking for all types of jobs, it's difficult out there. I stayed in the same place for 6 years, didn't always like it and had no pr... |

| Hi I used to do this at school. One piece of advice is 'to see it coming' before it's happened, if that makes sense.
