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.
Yes thats what i want to do, work from home as a writer. Working for bosses and figuring out how to meet expectations that dont make sense to me or seem necessary to me plus non stop socialising and dealing with people all day is too much
I think I am in a more or less constant shutdown, I can only deal with people on occasion.
