I want to give up :/

mark123

Right now im working part time, but for me, its hell. For me, its not a stable job. I work odd hours and different days. I feel like I can never plan anything because i'll be called into work.

I've tried to hard applying for jobs but its not getting me anywhere. I can't even do interviews. I know I can work, thats not a problem.
I think people are put off by me in interviews.

I've emailed a few places who help disbaled people get into work. But most of them just give me links on where to look for work or say they can only help with part time jobs.

I feel like im not going to get anywhere in life. I just need a full time job so I can start living, I feel trapped. I don't even feel like an adult.
I love my parents, but I need to move out. I need my own place/space.
My depression is getting worse because of it. 

Is there any place in Essex/London which can help me with this, get me into full time work?

    If you live close to London, and have IT skills, contact a company called Specialisterne - http://uk.specialisterne.com/ - they specialise in IT jobs for people in the autistic spectrum.  I hope this helps.   I am applying for jobs just now.  I wish you all the best.

    You mean if you don't mind a noisy commute to London if you are living in suburban areas/boroughs or just outside london, are a computer whiz (computer science major/graduate) in engineering, electrical systems, computer networking/architecture, and have a first class degree in any STEM subject, sure you'll be the perfect candidate. I've seen so many people get turned down by Specialisterne because - like myself - they have at most basic IT skills like programming concepts, intermediate microsoft office experience, and how to build a computer (I can do all of these) but I won't be suitable in Specialisterne.

    They have the misconception that all aspergers/autistics are fully able to comprehend complex information, too much of an association with that rain man film I think.
