Creative work

Billy87

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?

  • We are better to do things on own and on own terms. I can't work I burnout cry and meltdown and I had to hide in the loo, and they did not like it as I would be in there for like an hour in tears. it is too stressful for me. I think it might be better if you can and are able to do something from home be your own boss, if you can.
