Does anyone else think that us autistic people are not really suited to the regimented 9-5? Ive always struggled with work but the thing is im not adversed to hard work, I just cant cope with the "norm" of regimented shifts and work hours, plus bosses expectations of me which I never understand and the pressure of constant social interaction all day
For me being a writer from home would be my ideal job. I write a lot, mostly articles but I wonder if I should make a go of writing a novel. I started one about 3 years ago but havnt written in it for a while. I am thinking of writing short stories for magazines too
I wonder if us autistic people are more suited to creative jobs where we can be our own boss. Does anyone else every find this?
Next year I should get my first taste of work which I'm both excited and nervous about - I used to struggle with how long school was so I think a 9-5 job would be too much.
The job I'm hoping to do is a nursery and I think the hours are 8-1 or something like that, so it should be a lot easier for me.
But like you I love writing and would much more prefer an at home job.
