Are there any sites that employ people with disabilities. Like I suck big time at interviews due to my lack of social skills. Had a job before covid but had to leave due to sheilding as like most of us on the spectrum I have a weak immune system so was CEV. I had a trial shift at M&S in the bakers district but didn't make the cut as I wasn't quick enough or suited to an independent job role where I'd be working by myself due to my anxiety. I've been a chef, farmer and even done retail in the past. Only work I can seem to get is voluntary work. But hey volentry work isn't go to pay towards my pension. My biggest problem is my anxiety when it comes to the general public and interviews I guess. I went for an interview at Waitrose lately mentioned I was autistic and needed a reader. Finished the interview before I even got home I got an email back saying you didn't get. I also find if I tell the employer I'm Autistic they just don't Wana know and give you a chance even though I'm more than capable of meanial labour like till work and shelf stacking. Anyone ellse find it ducky finding a job. I read that the majority of Autistic people are also unemployed due to similar reasons. Why is know one protesting this.
Minimum wage job!!!!
I've been fired from minimum wage jobs and told that I'm unemployable.
I welcome any useful advice.
Some employers can be very harsh, others more accepting. It would help if they explained why they think you are unemployable, so ask why next time. How did you feel it went when you were working? Were there any difficulties or issues? Sometimes though they just sack people they don't like, or don't fit in, even if they were doing well. You might need employment support, so look into that.
When I was working I could manage the job fine in a kitchen I loved it as it was like production lines routines and yeah all fitted into place problem was the nurotypical ass holes I had to work along side because they knew I had more of a brain then they did they saw me as threat they new about my autism too and didn't want to be made a fool out of by someone who was autistic this always has been a thing. Nurotypicals perseve us to be stupid when IQ wise were actually more intelligent than a nurotypical weather we lack qualifications or not. Qualifications don't mean you have a high IQ or your intelegent it just means you put the time in for a digree.
