After loosing 2 jobs in 2 months this year I figured I needed help. That's when I went to the therapists and the first one(ended up being too expensive for me) diagnosed me with aspergers and the second one that was in network on insurance diagnosed me with regular autism. I'm hoping this second therapist can help me though instead of just putting a label on me.

Some haven't been able to even get a job so I've been blessed I guess.

I've held on to my current job for 13 years -- the longest.

6 years in the military ... the rest were 4 years or less.

I've had about a dozen jobs since 1975.

My job history isn't just crummy, it's nonexistent. I had a paper route for 2 weeks at 19 and a part time cleaning job for 5 weeks when I was in my early 20s (I'm not even sure of the year, I think I might have been 24). I'm 37 now.

I have been at the same job for the last 5 years, I like it.

Out of curiosity are any of you on SSI?

I don't really have a job history....I attempted a waitress job when I was 17 and got fired after the first month since I couldn't keep up, I had a workstudy job for a year in college but that is more financial aid than actual 'employment'. The most recent was a temporary job I managed to get fired from that was like 2 years ago.
