Hi all! I am a new user to this site, I would like please if you could share some of your experiences with employment and aspergers. I started full time employment a few months ago but I am finding it difficult because the role is very unstructured, there is no routine and it is difficult to predict what is coming next and also there are a lot of things going on to keep track of at once. Also in any workplace and school I get subject to bullying and being singled out and when I suggest an idea those around me just spend the next 5 minutes telling me why it is a dreadful idea. I also struggle with settings like meetings getting my voice heard and knowing when it is okay to speak.
Has anybody else had similar experiences to these in the workplace? I am looking for a new job but I'm concerned I would struggle with the same or similar issues in any job which is all a bit depressing because I don't want to be unemployed. I really love writing and would love to be a professional author but I understand thats not very realistic.
Thank you very much for listening, does anybody have any advice on whether my issues are with me or the job and how you cope with aspergers in the workplace? Thank you very much!
