Work struggles

Hi, I hear autistic people can do well in a job, but I also fear they can tragically fail. I'm reading about being absent minded, lost in their own world, not taking things in easily, gaps in skills, abrupt and aggresive, I have identified with all these. I also read about focus and precision, time reliably and good work ethic. Sadly I identify more with the first, but I also have nounerous mental health problems and very traumatic childhood. 

Still, which positives and negatives have autistic people with at the workplace? I'm currently on disability benefits, but I wonder what is the general experience of people with mental health problems at the workplace?

  • I got my first ever job when I was 24 as an audio engineer assistant and a video editor. I am struggling on trying to find work at the moment, I would rather have a job working from home, to be honest. I have always had at the back of my mind that have Autism or any form of disabilities can affect in the workplace.
