Acceptance or giving up?

From your description, it sounds more like the technology you've used, doesn't allow for edge cases when it's used differently (e.g. Autistic mind) it breaks. After years of that, I found that Apple products are the best for Autism accomodations, and they simply don't crash.

Consider that maybe the technology is the klutz.

Frank, I've no idea what you're talking about, what is an edge case?

A big part of the problem is my memory, certain things going straight to long term memory storage without ever passing or pausing in short term memory means I have no synaptic links to access the information. I know I've done C&P before but every time is like the first and I end up losing stuff. I have tried the one thing at a time way and it didn't work, partly because either I did something wrong or those who were "helping" me start questioning why I want to do things, I don't get helped I get told off or laughed at, sometimes people hide from me when I want tech help. I get so frustrated when people say 'it's intuitive', I ask intuitive for whom? Because it's certainly not me, I think some things like smart phones maybe intuitive if you've grown up with them and have had the previous half a dozen models.

I think part of the problem is that I don't really know what I'd want to do, I can't be doing with Youtube, it really annoys me and without speakers and stuff its not really accessable, I have tried the videos and stuff and just didn't find they matched my learning style and a lot of the presenters annoyed me, theres to much irritating music, adverts and voices, especially American ones. With American stuff you have to translate as you go as they call so many things different names to us, like flashlight instead of torch, translating stuff like that as well as trying to understand what they're talking about is too much. I don't really go anywhere so sat navs and stuff are pointless, I've never had much success with sat navs when I have tried using them, they don't work so well in remote areas. I don't listen to radio or podcasts, I hate ear pods and headphones they really bring on PTSD, I can' timagine why I'd want to watch tv on a phone. I wouldn't use facebook as I don't trust it, I might use whatsapp but I don't know, I might use it for one other person. I don't play games and never really have, I find the iinformation I want is either behind a paywall or is to simplistic when I'm trying to do research or something, I find pdf files a nighmare. I don't download stuff myself because it stops half way through and asks me questions I don't understand and/or turns out to be the wrong thing

People often talk to me about apple, mac and android and I don't really know what the different is apart from the dictionary one of one uses apple and the other google and that means? Because I can never have a go with stuff I never get to see the advantages and disadvantages of different systems. People get very protective of their prefered system and it seem like its getting to be one of those things guaranteed to start an argument, rather like religion and politcs, none of which helps me.

I wouldn't dare do online banking, with my ability to crash things I'd probably bring the whole world banking system to a halt, get hunted by international anti-terroist forces and nobody would believe it was an accident.

I'd love to work as a tester for tech, how would I apply and where?

I have had some tutoring, but it didn't work out so well, one was at college, it was all going along smoothly with the tutor standing behind me telling me what to do, he said to send something to print, so I did and everything stopped working, the entire college had to reboot their pooters and it was ages before anyone could print again, they kept me away from the pooters after that. When I was at uni I had a special tutor who's first comments were complaints about why I'd got a lap top instead of a desk top, then he refused to teach me what I needed to know like how to insert and do references in essays because that all came later in his teaching program. It seemed like everything I did for him was wrong, like using the backspace key instead of highlighting with the mouse and hitting delete, even for a couple of words. I asked him why and he said the computer didn't like it and wouldn't explain futher and that was a step to far even for me and my tendency towards magical thinking. A friend had similar problems with him and we both "sacked" him.
