I've heard before that a lot of people with autism don't work. Some do part time or volunteer but working full time 5 days a week can be overwhelming.
I don't work. It's annoying because I really want to and a friend has managed to get me in somewhere and I did a days work there, totally nailed it and then after work I had a massive meltdown, and then another the same night and was hit by fatigue the next day that left me bed ridden.
But I would still like to work full time as it would be a way of keeping busy and escaping my anxiety but the pressure it puts on me is difficult to avoid. I'm still thinking about how to get around that.
They reckon ideal jobs for people with autism is in libraries and working with computers. The job I tried was working with children.
