Hi, I was told today that i'm not fitting into the office environment as I don't interact as a team player. I asked them whether they could transfer me into a different position, and maybe 'shove me up a corner and give me lots of things to do', but that didn't go down too well and they're going to ask me to leave, I came home and cried.

If there's anyone out there who wants to employ an admin/data entry/typing/anything IT type of home worker, I have a PC, coffee and the ability to concentrate for hours. I'm looking for 17k plus per annum (that's english currency), that's what I get paid now.

I don't expect a response out of this eccentric email but I feel destined for unemployment after today's shock.

I can of course forward a CV to you and we can discuss in more detail what IT skills/abilities I have.

Please get in touch, I feel like the world's caving in.

Kerry

Enlightened employers welcome independent thinkers, they sort problems out.

They're not worthy of you, move on if they can't see your worth.

Consider contacting the NAS prospects service they can negotiate on your behalf. I'm not saying do it is your choice. I'm in two minds myself. I think it is very much case by case thing it would be good to hear what others think.

That's terrible, you should make sure they are done for discrimination! People like that who easily destroy people with AS! In the end of the day make sure they go down for discrimination its there loss. Get job hunting and prove they lost a decent worker!! !! !!

Contact these folks:
Autistic people prove valuable in software testing
I think this may have been posted elsewhere, but I think it's a great idea. Since Scotland is using it, perhaps the program is not too far away? I hurt for you; I know the feeling.
