What is your biggest challenge with being an autistic adult?

Howdy. Where I'm at, autism is still very much not favored in the workplace, as much as certain corporations and ma-and-pa shops try to be publicly open to it. It's difficult to get a job and stay hired long enough to actually get a life going. I've applied for thousands of jobs over the last couple of years, with some staying for a bit, maybe up to a couple months, not long enough for some benefits like health insurance to kick in. It makes me want to scream sometimes, can't help but be a bit mad about it. Biggest thing that irks me now is how people say "eventually you'll get a job" or "just gotta have hope." I'm always just a step away from being homeless, though I do try to stay positive. Thanks for your question, hope your day is going better than mine.
