I'm interested to know how many of the working autistic population (on here at least) work full time. I changed to working part time 4 years ago, pre-diagnosis, because I kept burning out (normal in the job I was doing so didn't attribute it to autism until I was diagnosed and looked back). Now I'm looking at my career prospects post-diagnosis as in many ways I feel more confident in myself since I know I'm not just "lacking resilience" (anyone else had that thrown at them?).
I just don't know if considering working full time again is truly realistic. Interested to know what other people's experiences are.
I work full time, or even more last year, but it is just another in a series of jobs, since I came to UK I have never been unemployed.
I have few qualifications but none with experience, and I can't find work that would be a begining of a career.
Despite multiple requests in this and previous job I couldn't get to work less hours
Before I became a social worker I changed jobs very frequently. I had never had a job that had lasted more than a year, and a lot of the jobs didn't relate to each other in any way.
