Optimism and Reality: Goldfish21 Response to me

Post Reply New Topic

I cut through BS like a sharp knife.

LOL...You can't let the employer know that, though......

And that's the unfortunate thing about reality. Most of the time, it's almost impossible to live under the auspices of high moral values.

reason I posted this was for whatever reason it won't let me put in a linkedin link

Would Branson and any of his commentators who more then likely would tell me to be more positive, I'm intelligent, and I can do anything I set my mind to hire me? Would they put their money where there mouth is?

I hope you get hired, and do the job well. That's what I hope.

I buy that I could be to costly to hire. If I told others including Branson and other employers the very same logic GF told me as to why I couldn't get a job they would more then likely say I'm being to negative or hard on yourself. They would give me the BS quote by Henry Ford "whether you think you can or can't you're right" or "you can do anything you set your mind to." Or another good one is I'm making excuses. Can I expect optimism back from them and they believe positively I can do the job hire me, invest in me, and train me. The truth is as GF states is no. I can't expect that. So, their actions belie their words. If anyone believes in me then hire me and let's make the whole employment process a mere formality. If you're not going to hire me because I'm to costly they let's cut the BS that you believe in me.

It's the same message to my family members as well. Forget I'm your nephew or son or that you love me. If I am coming in as a potential candidate in a real or fictitious organization you have would you hire me? Looking at my body language, the need for detailed instructions, how slow I move and comprehend things would you HIRE me? No, because you would look at cost as in money and time. If you can hire Billy Bob here with giving out 5 lines of instructions vs giving me 20 levels of instructions and he's faster then me won't you hire Billy Bob? If I take longer to learn then Billy Bob to do things or learn things then wouldn't the most logical thing to do is to hire Billy Bob. That's exactly what I'd do as well yet you believe I can be hired and maintain employment with others then yourselves. All of you believe in me despite evidence to f*****g contrary. How does that even make sense loved ones? Come the f**k on.

This is a rant KK and others.

Some jobs do require swift comprehension of instructions; others don't, though.

If you could get a job, say, repairing PC's, you can diagnose the problem in your own time. It doesn't matter if you take 5 minutes or 15 minutes. Laymen don't usually know, fully, how to diagnose. So you're in the driver's seat.

Or maybe a job typing briefs in a legal office. All you need is to be a fast typist. You don't need detailed instructions. You type what you see. Or something related--like a paralegal. You do legal research. It takes a while. You don't need to be particularly "fast."

For repairing and diagnosing PCs you have to get a certain amount out b/c customers expect a fast turnaround time. I have repaired my own PCs and I have tried replacing the motherboards a few times. I end up for whatever reason messing components up like the DC Jack. I would not do motherboard replacement again. Hard Drive replacement yes. Memory stick replacement yes. Even the wireless card that is in there yes. Mother board and fan, hell no.

I'm a pretty fast typist as well and you're right about not needing detailed instructions for that but that's only the technical requirments. What about the non-technical requirements like taking initiative or showing initiative. For me to do this I would need to know what my constraints are. C = {required to do, optional, authorized to do, not authorized to do.} <<<database management pseudocode for constraints.

And, I've applied to typing jobs. Employers don't call back or give me the time of day. So, for the most part I don't even get an interview.

I bet at least some places would make you the "hard drive" person, and somebody else the "motherboard" person.

That's what I would do if I were a boss. I'd cater the tasks to a person's special abilities---if I could.

I mean...you have a pretty good arrangement with your SO. So why rock the boat? I'm not advocating that you, superficially, "pull your own weight." If your SO doesn't mind your present situation, then why not continue to do what you're doing.

I really wouldn't object too much if a woman stays home and takes care of the house. I'm not a "house" type. This would be a good relationship for me. I'm out working, while she takes care of the house.

I can say the companies made it extremely difficult to get to the hard drive. It used to be one could take off a panel off the back. Now you can't.

One thing I learned when diagnosing is determine if the hard drive itself is malfunctioning or not first. If it is then it needs to be replaced (don't waste time doing anything else) and the user needs to back up what he can.

But, it could be possible to do a chkdsk /f to work around the bad sectors.

I agree with you on some things. Goldfish on others.

I know you get perturbed with Goldfish, and vice versa.

But then I think----maybe you two are having fun with this.

I hope you two grab a beer afterwards....like in that Warner Brothers cartoon with the sheepdog and the wolf----where the sheepdog is protecting the sheep from the wolf 8 hours a day (they both punch in). Then, after the 8 hours is over, they grab a beer together.

KK, I think GF has his faults but is a pretty cool guy. s**t, I have my faults as well. I'm not perfect. Far from it. I don't drink but I wouldn't mind grabbing a bite to eat or just chilling out at the beach with him just talking about philosophy and s**t. And, I loved that cartoon as well. And, ya know what's funny I do accept a fractional part of what GF says as true.

I don't drink, either, by the way.

I've read about some, seen their posts & promo videos on Facebook. Here, in less than 1 second google returns 170,000 results for the search term (not in quotes) "disability friendly employer USA."

https://www.google.ca/search?q=disabili ... e&ie=UTF-8

So, they exist. So much so that the first hit is a directory for them. Also, there are American members of this forum who have gotten their jobs through organizations that help disabled people get jobs. They may not be every employer (duh), but, they exist. Like I said, in a diverse country of more than 300 Million people, there are disability friendly employers. Some more friendly to specific disabilities, like accommodations for wheelchairs, or deaf people, and some, even specifically, for Autism. While the company is headed in Germany, I saw an ad last year from SAP (ERP software company - the best in the world) specifically seeking people on the spectrum because they Know that they are best suited for the type of coding & debugging work they need done.




But it is your attitude that differs from those who are gainfully employed, so, who's is "wrong?" If the "norm," of a belief system is so illogical & unreasonable, why does it work for countless other people who are out working their jobs and living their lives?

I don't believe your attitude & perceptions are by choice. They simply Are. I believe this because 6 years ago I used to think like you, and guess what results I got? The ones you're getting. I didn't change the way I think by reading books about positivity (although, I did read them.), I changed the way I think by healing myself. By learning what foods and things I was putting in my body were causing the chemical shitstorm necessary to make my thinking that way, and how to heal my digestive system in order to improve all of that so that I can now tolerate eating those foods without negatively impacting my headspace with an accumulation of food acids that trips out the brain, executive functions, and causes horrible negative thoughts/perceptions as well as passively suicidal thoughts. It's science, not make believe woo-woo wishy washy just believe in myself BS. It's biology & chemistry.

I have never once claimed to be a medical professional. I've been very transparent about the fact that I am an Autistic man who figured out what was causing my ASD symptoms to go WILD and how to treat them via diet and medicine in order to raise my functioning level to where it's at now so that I can work, live, and play in the social world as I do, and then I shared that with the community here - the people it can help most. That's it that's all.

You like facts, empirical evidence, statistics, hard science vs. my experiential word, and now they exist because medical research is catching up to what I learned over 5 years ago and the proof is now well documented to back up the anecdotal claims I've made. cube, read this, it'll take an hour or so, but read it All, and then come back and tell me how crazy you think I am for telling y'all that healing & balancing my gut has resulted in night & day dramatic improvement in my ASD functioning levels: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5408485/ It's all there, cube, written by 4 medical doctors from around the world who drew their data & information from 157 separate ASD & other medical studies in order to compile it into what's there. One brief article Deepthought 7 shared here stated that the lead doctor on the study, Dr. Li (MD of Paediatrics at Peking University First Hospital in Beijing) concluded that he believes it may be possible to develop a simple & cost effective treatment for ASD based on this research. It's impossible to find contact information for him w/o being a University researcher, but I did find contact info for one of the other doctors who's in California and emailed her - because I've already been doing for 5 years what they hypothesized 1 year ago might be possible to do in the future. You can continue to think I'm crazy all you want, that's your choice, but this is legitimately an emerging area of medicine and I am at the forefront of it. Click and read the study, it'll explain in far better medical detail what I don't have the specialized knowledge to explain.




Your perception is that I'm condescending, mine isn't. You at least try to keep an open mind, until you get frustrated and lash out with insults instead of any sort of argument - but - at least you Try. I've told you before, and I just told you again, I used to think a different way than I do now. I used to think like you, or sly279, or Marknis, but then I learned what was causing my thoughts to be that way and how to treat it via diet & medicine, and now I think how I do. This is not the result of "installing a new operating system," & "overwriting code," via reading words in a book. I also have been abundantly transparent about the fact that when I read the book I bought you, that I did the written exercises in the back of the book that are intended to improve your thinking.. and the result, day after day of scoring the same test, was that my thinking was getting worse, not better. It was very frustrating.. but there was value in quantifying my negative thinking and knowing that it was getting worse because I knew that something was causing it (and my ASD symptoms) to get worse, and that if it could get worse, it could better.. I just had to figure out what it was & then how to influence change upon it in the opposite direction. It was chemical; not the result of a "bad attitude," and once I was able to balance the chemicals involved by replenishing minerals that my body was deficient in, everything began to change. It wasn't a matter of "installing new software," via reading & writing words, trying to force myself to think more positively.. it was more like "re-flashing the firmware," so that now my default operating mode is one of optimism, opportunities, and possibilities. Change yourself, change your perceptions. Change your perceptions, change your reality.




No. I have a very long reading list of titles that interest me that I haven't gotten to yet, plus even from the titles in these links they sound like mind pollution justification for being negative instead of positive.. and being negative does not get me the results I want out of life, so I'm certainly not going to spend time & energy on anything intended to bring me down. I lived ~30 years of depression & negativity before figuring out what I was missing that others had and how to give that gift to myself and there's a zero % chance that I'm going to do anything to revert that back to the living hell that is depression & negativity. The only direction I'm headed is forward or up, that's it. Why would I be interested in reading books who's titles sound like they're intended to justify negative thinking & not striving towards achieving one's goals?

You're not concerned that I have some rare condition that you have. You just like to argue with me because you think I'm lying.

I'm Autistic, not stupid. I graduated from business school when I was 19 years old. You like credentials? I have a piece of paper in a folder in my closet that says I know how to learn & know things.

When Raleigh posts his criticisms of me for not behaving like at self help guru (which I have never claimed to be) his word is gospel, but when he says I'm "Autistic af," you ignore his assessment because it doesn't fit your paradigm & desire to argue with me about what I do and do not know about my own health, life, and body.

Layperson or not, I am fully capable of reading, learning, knowing, and doing & I know perfectly well that my ASD functioning level is dramatically improved because of what I've done. Go read the medical study I posted for cube. You can do whatever you want about your diagnosis/es, I'm not forcing you or anyone to treat your symptoms in the way that I treat mine. I'm simply telling you all that This is It, this is the root cause of MANY peoples' ASD symptoms, and how it can be treated via diet and medicine - these organs, this medicine, these results. Do with it what you wish, or don't wish, it's not going to change what I do for myself nor the life changing positive results I've achieved for myself.
