Do autistic people get screwed over at work more or is it just me? Most jobs I have had I get taken advantage of or treated worse, with less respect, than other collegues by the people I work for. My most recent job I have been borderline defrauded. Two of my three previous ones I had to go to ACAS.
I'm quite a worldly wise person and certainly not naïve but yet I always get treated as if I am a naïve mug who doesn't know what's what.
I'm not saying all this cos I feel sorry for myself, I just want to know if this is a common autistic experience in the workplace or whether it's just me?
Yep.
Matches my own workplace experiences.
I also find that IF an NT does something significant they get lauded for it, whereas if I do the same exact thing it attracts no praise whatsoever.
I also found that when the bennies were being handed out I was at the END of the line every single time.
As a self employed contractor social politics isn't so important, and the pay is better.
