Today I got blamed for using too much disinfectant at work, and it annoyed me.

When we have to disinfect the buses we were specifically told (about 3 weeks ago) to only put 1 litre of disinfectant into the bucket, which I understood straight away and it's very easy because we have a jug that we measure the disinfectant liquid in before pouring it into the bucket. But more disinfectant is mysteriously being used than it should be, even though all of us are following the rules to only use 1 litre at a time. Last week my supervisor asked all of us seperately how much litres we put into the bucket, and all of us (including me) said 1, just to make sure we all understood. Then today I overheard my supervisor ranting to one of the other workers about more disinfectant being used, and I heard him say, "I think it's Joe90 using 2 litres each time instead of 1". I felt cross, because I don't see why I was being blamed when I understood how much disinfectant to use as good as the other workers. So I went up to him and told him that I always use 1 litre. But I still think that he thinks it's me who's using more, and he won't think otherwise until he can prove it isn't me. I don't see why the finger should be pointed at me, just because I have poor math skills. I do know what a litre is, because I use the jug that has the correct measurement on. It's just frustrating me.

I had that where I worked in the past, and I was being blamed... And I later found out that most of the tools that had gone missing had been stolen by the head of the department, who was the very one who had been telling me off! I think he blamed me to take the suspicion away from himself?
Anyway. It is all in the past.

have found from experience thst devious NTs in general seem to like to target people whom are just frankly honest about their observation to the point of appearing annoying to NTs whom lack words or perceptions of obvious situations . As most AS persons are easily capable of , will often do. This makes AS persons as easy targets for NTs to use for abuse . Have seen this issue even since childhood in dealing especially with siblings . And on into adult life in dealings with less than ethical individuals .. imho.

Someone might be taking some home cuz stuff like that is in short supply due to the virus. I think us Aspies tend to be the 1st 1s blamed for sh!t like this cuz of misconceptions over our various issues. People tend to either think we're slow & "special" or that we're defiant A-holes. If someone really is pilfering disinfectant, the person could of pointed the finger at you to take the heat off them.

The cleaning supplies aren't as scarce as they were at the beginning of the lockdown. Every time I go into a store there are plenty of cleaning supplies available, so I don't think people are short of cleaning supplies any more. And I know my supervisor wouldn't steal it and point the finger at me, as I know my own supervisor and I know he wouldn't do that. It's him who has to order the disinfectant and keep an eye on how much is being used, but he seems just as baffled about how it's disappearing than the rest of us are. Maybe someone else is stealing some of it and the supervisor is just blaming me for using too much because he thinks I'm stupid and thinks I'm unable to understand anything.
And if it was the supervisor who is stealing some and blaming me to cover himself up, that wouldn't annoy or upset me so much because then he'd actually know that it is not me who's using too much. But if it isn't him (which most likely isn't), and he's got it into his head that I'm the culprit, that's what is annoying.

I used to get blamed for things that are not my fault and it sucked!
Having Aspergers made me an easy target for bullies and people to take advantage of me.
Having Aspergers has made it very hard for me to transition into adulthood.
Having Aspergers has lead to me becoming long term unemployed with mental health issues.

It's not the Asperger's, it's the constantly being judged and evaluated by a set of rules that only make sense for a different sort of person (NT).

It takes us much longer to transition into adulthood. I've made it but it was very slow.

Have you had any jobs?

Yes, just the other day. The shop keeps throwing a ton of rubbish at the back and left it there. My next door neighbour seems to think it was me, I was telling him that I didn't do this. The joke is, he ended up complaining to the council, only to shortly receive a letter from them warning me not to. Sadly, who would believe anyone with supposedly with mental health? :?

So much for living on top of a shop.

I quit a full time job that I worked for around 12 months to study full time at college. I have been long term unemployed since completing my degree. A degree without any experience and high competition for limited jobs makes finding employment difficult and now I am older, it is harder to find any work. I have accepted I am unlikely to ever work again and I struggle by on welfare.

Well first of all well done for managing to work full time for a whole year, I have never been able to do this. And for getting your degree, what is it in?

This is certainly a trying time to find work in. I found getting work easier as I aged, but I don't have a degree so mine will have been very different kinds of work.

I made the mistakes of getting a low Credit average in my Accounting degree, not gaining experience or being social enough to form a network. College = too many graduates competing for limited jobs. Not going to college was my best option. Only College students with Distinction and High Distinction averages get jobs. I regret wasting my time and money.
