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.

  • never got diagnosed but i bet those programmes they sent you on are the same as the ones they send people on job seekers allowance on.... been on many of them and they are all useless. from cv courses that dont really improve your cv then you get sent to another one that says the previous one told us all wrong and those cvs are bad.... i almost got a fitness instructor position on one thing they sent me on but they had us all fight for 1 spot and i was clearly the better as all the others were fecking unfit and worthless but yet still they gave it to some kid whos mum knew the manager so that was a waste of time. other than that they do try to force you into *** places.... like hitchens food, a notoriously bad employer that treats staff *** and fails to pay their staff... or a recycling factory that knocks you sick as soon as you step through the front door, and that is the less foul smelling room.

    the fitness one i went to that i failed to get the job on also "helped" redo my cv too and pretty much did it themselves and it became a advertisement for themselves speaking more about themselves and their course on my cv than about me and my experience lol
