Are all Autists unemployed?

Post Reply New Topic

For what its worth I believe it has to do with personality type.

Supposedly I'm an INTP and Fnord is an ISTJ. But, not all of the qualities of the personality types will apply to all individuals though. These personality indicators to me are to simplistic in my opinion but they're the best we got and I don't know how accurate they are with those with autism.

With all that being said.

These are some of the issues here.

It also really depends on the job. Accomodations cannot be made in every job of course.

I know Fnordy but you must know you are unusually resilient?

Fnord, where's the proof of intent on my part. For me to lie I have to intentionally state something which was not true.

I did not intentionally state something which was not true.

Yet, you keep insisting I lied when I did not. So, what are the wrongplanet rules for trying to present me as a liar when I did not lie.

2. Personal attacks.
This includes insinuation, ridicule and personal insults, regardless of whether direct or indirect. Attacking an opinion, belief or philosophy is acceptable, but attacking the person making the comments is not.

Here is the rule on personal attacks.

How exactly did I insinuate anything against you personally, ridicule or personally insult you Fnord? How exactly did I lie?

It's not insinuation, ridicule or a personal attack if I thought it was true. I personally believe metaphorically you expect us to kneel down and lick the employer's shoes and boots. That's my impression of the words you say on here about what we all should do with the employers.

If anything I'm attacking your opinions and beliefs not you. I didn't lie. I didn't trash you or ridicule you.

Employment is a codependent relationship. Employers take and take and demand more and more and the employee is expected to give and give. When is enough enough? When do employees get to look out after their own interests without being considered entitled? Why do we owe employers our soul but they owe us nothing?

We can do everything Fnord suggests and still lose. Many ppl have. Employers don't have our interests at heart but only theirs.

Let me ask you all this. What if employers started requiring one to be sex slaves? Would the ppl go for it? Maybe not now but overtime little by little I believe yes they would.

When does it stop? When does the employee get to have his boundaries? Does the emploee have to pledge his eternal soul to the employer in the future?

Point is there comes a point in which one has to draw a line in the sand and say NO! People are sheep!

What I'm saying is that one of the main lines of reasoning that conservatives use to attack social safety net type programs is to suggest that the people making use of them are just lazy and malingering. Additionally that conservatives are often against mandating that workplaces have policies for accommodating those who have disabilities.

My one point was that this is a problem because it attacks both potential options that disabled people have to secure an income.

My second point was that it's hypocritical for someone to insist that they should qualify but that others are definitely malingering. This is an unfair assumption and only leads to policies harmful to the interests of everyone who suffers from some form of disability.
