I am 40 and I was only diagnosed in March last year I joined this board in May 2012 when I stated to suspect I was on the Autistic Spectrum.
First off I have learned a lot about myself my weak points and my strong points.
NTs are either confident or they put themselves down.
I like to think I am neither I admit my failings and weak points I call this realism.
My failings and weak points include the fact that I am not a very good poster on this board.
Anyway here is the body of my message.
Age 17 until 23 I was fired four times I quit a number of times and I spent time unemployed.
Age 23 to 37 got worked in a job in which the management treated me really well but I was bullied by my coworkers.
In my current job I have at last learned how to get on with my co workers and keep management happy.
21 years to get it right I only started to get it right once I figured out I had a form of Autism and came here for some help.
Here comes the pressure bit I know I can not form relationships and people putting pressure on me for this can only be harmful to me.
However having said that I have leaned how to function well in the world of employment but if I had given up I would not have achieved this.
Even my current job that I like gives me days that really set off my sensory issues and I have the odd paranoid day but my coworkers have bad days too nothing is life is perfect.
My point is learn to know when to call it quits but don't quit before you give it a really good try.
