hello all

i am new here. i found out about aspergers recently when i hit bottom of life. And after reading others experiences, it makes sense to me why i am so blantly honest, cant figure out a lie and why so many problems around me.

i lost job due to an abusive manager and found out that my partner had been covertly lying to me. now i am livIng alone in a foreign country shutting outside world , unable to trust anyone and lost confidence to work again.

at least, i am glad that i found like minded people here.
looking forward to me make new friends here.

thank you.

It's nice to meet you!

I'm very sorry you are going through a hard time right now.

Hello and welcome to Wrong Planet! It's nice to meet you

Hi, welcome! Sorry you had to deal with an abusive manager and lying partner.

Hey jmax welcome.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

I hope you are able to get a job soon.

I have a similar story.
Upon finding out my condition, I tried to disclose it to my employers over a year ago. Since then, the working conditions got harder and harder, to the point I had to walk out. I read about workforce bullying, and it described my job literally up and down, and still there were few there who believed me. Said it was all in my head.
As a result, I had to walk out, cancel my lease, lose my apartment that I loved more than anything, and flee the city all together when people at my church started doing the very same thing. My story is like an unpaid bill hanging around the state of Alabama, still documenting, still finding like minds who were treated the same.
And yet, the employers still turn a cold shoulder like they always did.

Hiring an autistic is seen as too much legality. So I can't even put it on my application.

I would seek disability, except I'm told that I cannot work if I do that. And disability would not be nearly enough to pay for my own place. So I am living in my mother's storage room.

I suspect many of us hit bottom before we found out the form of what we have been existing underneath. Welcome, hope your world picks up several brighter shades as you move along.

Thank you all for your kind words. i have started attending interviews hope to see some light soon.
