Anyone else with Autism, ADHD or both gotten into full time employment & got their life together at age 25 ?

Anyone else with Autism, ADHD or both gotten into full time employment & got their life together at age 25 ? I've had enough of these fake organisation that keep failing me or forcing me into work in some really unsuitable work environments or with extremely shady employers. So far I've done so much work experience, leisure & online learning and nothing has given me a little bit of direction. I wanted to go back to college but they do not do digital infrastructure or digital development for those over the age of 23. 

I've tried an apprenticeship which ended early because of the training provider or school going bankrupt, it wasn't something I was interested in anyway but i was willing to give it a chance and complete them, they where in horticulture and retail. Looking back they where probably a waste of time as because they where in dead end entry level subjects. 

I just want some direction or at least a fresh start in a job in a clean, well ventilated environment with routine hours but i keep being harassed into livestock, meat processing and elderly care assistant roles and the only reason i didn't stay at these jobs is because harassment and bullying by the staff was ruthless and became violently physical and dangerous.

  • sorry your apprenticeship went belly up,,, that must have been a gutting experience.

    i have autism and ADHD and dyslexia.  i have moved between many jobs.  tried to stay in science but couldnt ( no jobs in area and/or out competed ). Ended up in IT. Been there ever since. At 25 I was pretty crazy, i was into motorcycles, trouble of all sorts, sex, drink that was it. So u are probably better than me.

    pick up a martial art it helps build confidence against physical attack. I did Judo which i used in real life to great effect. Boxing is the ultimate one but keep the sparring to a minimum,,,  the head injuries are very real.
