Well, it was a mistake to resign in this economy. I guess you probably figured that out by now. There is a surplus of tech workers right now. You were probably replaced by the end of the day with a guy with twice the education working for half what you earned.
Sometimes companies will jerk you around to try and get you to quit just like you did. Its easier than to get you to take a 50% cut in pay voluntarily. Not only that, but they save on unemployment insurance because you aren't really entitled to that if you quit. Its always best to force them to terminate you if you are to have to leave the company.
On the other hand, you have to realize that as an aspie, you are more sensitive to comments and situations than other people. Could it have been possible that you read too much in to the situation and an NT would have ignored?
I left the IT field because there aren't any more jobs. If you are lucky enough to find one, expect to move around to weird places in the country. If you are an American, the only jobs available to Americans right now are defense work. All other IT/Tech jobs are being done by foreign nationals here on H-1B visas.
I've found that not to be true. I have been applying for IT jobs and have gotten a ton of responses and interviews. I just started a new job this week in fact. I am doing general help desk and low level system administration.
