I have used my difference to skill myself

Post Reply New Topic

I have used my strangely wired brain to upskill myself. As a price discoverer in day trading. Its possibly the hardest of skills to acquire and the highest paid but we evidently have the sort of brain that can ferret out stuff NTs cannot see...so why not use it. After all, employment is a non starter for a lot of us....we simply arent wired to relate to NTs....personally I find them too emotional and unpredictable to work with...so I have used my brain to work for me.

Its all about freeing yourself to be what you are capable of than turning to the NT world for help which will be one or other crutch.

And how exactly does one become a price discoverer in day trading?

I agree 100%

I do data entry but I also actively work on auditing/normalizing the data and trying to find different ways to make use of said data. I spot issues and things that jump out and bring it to the attention of the appropriate department head. My talents for dealing with repetitious tasks, typemanship, focus, and ability to quickly analyze/detect/fix inconsistencies and anomalies in blocks of information is why I've gotten two raises in the last nine months. I wish I had known about this type of work many years ago. The fact that I care more about whatever task I'm working on than socializing is a plus. I'm given total autonomy and I have no deadlines because I work on what I'm supposed to work on, and structuring my day to suit my own better judgment is compatible with what is good for the company. I am very pleased with where I am at and I owe it to all the things that should have hypothetically held me back.

Plus no one wants my job. They hate it and it drives them insane.

Everybody has a skill. Finding a way to provide that skill to an employer that needs it is, however, difficult. My recent job search was aided by someone at a job placement / recruiting service who talked to me and determined the best type of field. The fact that the place I am currently working for was hiring and that their data entry position was seriously neglected (and not conceived well initially, IMO) was exactly the kind of thing I needed to deal with to stand out, so that was a little bit of good luck.

I trade on my own account.

I sometime noticed that there is a problem when people from outside try to make telephone calls to the school where I work. It would be better that I answer the call, but that is not my job. The next day my boss got angry to my coworker because there is no-one to answer the phone. This is an organization issue, and neither it is my job to come with suggestions. My boss must solve this serious problem by himself, IMO.

The NT world? I don't believe in that rubbish...not to mention there are plenty of neurotypicals who require 'help' with things, there are neurotypicals with disabilities, neurotypicals who struggle to make ends meet. The world is for everyone one can free them self to what they are capable of whilst still at times requiring help from others. What its taboo to accept help if it comes from a neurotypical?

I could answer the phone, but my boss thinks that I don't have he skills,while I think, I am capable to do that. Because he consciously skips me, it is him, not me, that must solve this problem, although I think this situationis ridiculous and can easily be avoided.
