Employment

Hi All,

This is my first post, after reading the discussions for a while.

I am just curious how u all deal with employment.

I have always struggled keeping a job & never know what I want to do,so just jump from job to job & it is awful for my mental health.

Any replies appreciated.

  • Apart from some time in my early 20's, and a month this year I have always worked. I was made redundant form a job after 13 years this year and I do miss it because it was easy and I had masses of free time at home. I am a service engineer going out to customers. I find mostly being on my own travelling helps me. It is a bit stressful going to diffrent places but it is mostly schools and the customers are mostly nice. I do struggle some days but I can get away with stuff if i need to. Hate working to be honest, I pretty much hate every job I have ever had deep down. I just want to retire really. I didn't find out about ASD until I was 50 and was never allowed to be anything but normal by my parents.
