Employed or unemployed? (ONLY FOR PEOPLE WITH ASPERGERS)

Post Reply New Topic

Unemployed, trying to get a degree in web design.

If that doesn't work out, then I'm f*cked.

unemployed.

Employed in a job that fits my obsession! Until I recently started doing a masters degree part time, work was 10 hours a 6 days a week and I would do work at home during he evenings. Having a job that fits your obsession is not good it can feed and provide resources for the obsession!

After being employed and unemployed and having quite a few jobs over the last 30 years – my suggestion – find out what your strengths and weaknesses are and find a job that is close and then make it fit even better. Probably helps if you can find a job in a non-competitive arena, e.g., public service, academia, not for profit group, etc.

I am Employed , Was doing full time until i decided to go college now doing Part time

Employed part-time, possibly soon starting another job that'll give me enough money to support myself. I plan to save some money, RUN back to university, and never leave again.

Unemployed. It seems we're one extreme or the other. We're either unemployed or me own several companies.

Currently studying and employed to pay the bills while I do so. I need to work or have something to occupy my time or I get really depressed.

unemployed , getting a fee from federal goverment (had to fight 7 years of court for recogniction of as)

Employed full time. Plus do other stuff in the evenings etc when I'm commissioned to do so.

Employed, part time (19 hours per week) at the library and love it. I am hoping to get a full time job after the new library opens in May.

Well I guess that depends on how you look at it. I do not work outside the home but I have two boys with ASDs. Between all their appointments and sevices they keep me pretty busy, not to mention the fact that I'm called to school at least twice a week because of behavior problems.

Employed, but constantly worrying about hearing "you're doing a great job, but I feel that it would be best if you went to seek employment elsewhere" from my boss. (With that said, he's a reasonable person overall.) I don't make a lot, but enough to cover fixed expenses, entertainment, and occasional luxuries.

I am unemployed, give up finding work, employers in my area are a load of s**t, couldn't find a job

Unemployed. The treadmill goes too fast for me at work.

I've been on welfare a long time and am desperate to get off, so I can get into better housing and eat better (they don't give us enough to live on long term). Am working towards self-employment as a writer but it's taking a long time . . . (Poverty is grinding me down and making it harder).

I read somewhere recently that the powers-that-be don't want full employment because then they'd have to pay people better and treat them better. Better to have permanent unemployment so workers are desperate and put up with crap. So being considered lazy for being unemployed is stupid and insulting - there simply aren't enough jobs to go round, even if we all were desperate to work.
