I honestly can& #39;t believe how stupid some people are. LMTBO,where in my bio does it say that I work/have a job? Try oh I don& #39;t know,NOWHERE! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😑" title="Ausdrucksloses Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Ausdrucksloses Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤣" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👎" title="Thumbs down" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs down"> Maybe if they were to actually read my bio,they& #39;d find it says that I& #39;m autistic! And that plays a big role as to why I can& #39;t work.

I usually don& #39;t like discussing such a thing openly, but I feel duty-bound to now after getting this weird message on IG. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen"> Yes, some people who are autistic can hold down jobs/are comfortable doing so. But autism is a spectrum that affects those with it in different ways. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😑" title="Ausdrucksloses Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Ausdrucksloses Gesicht">

So with that in mind, some people on the spectrum will be comfortable/able to hold down a job. But I& #39;m not one of those people. You& #39;d maybe not think it, with how well I communicate online,but outside of online/people in real life I& #39;m comfortable with,I& #39;m very different. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen">

And in case you& #39;re wondering how I get by considering that I can& #39;t work, I& #39;ll answer that question here too. I& #39;m on benefits, employment support allowance to be exact, which is paid into my bank account on Thursdays, over the course of a fortnightly basis. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Leicht lächelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Leicht lächelndes Gesicht">

And even if I was capable/comfortable with doing a job, there& #39;s the added issue of nobody taking me under their wing for something just because I& #39;m autistic. It& #39;s disgusting, sure, but what can you do? Not a lot sadly. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙄" title="Gesicht mit rollenden Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit rollenden Augen"> I had it happen with college courses too,unfortunately. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Weinendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Weinendes Gesicht">

Although things on my end may seem kinda bleak in this thread to you, I have been able to make the best of my situation. I say that, as I& #39;ve been able to make my routine for how I get through weekdays flexible + I like being able to listen to music for most of the day. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Leicht lächelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Leicht lächelndes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">

Seeing my carers 3 days a week helps a lot when I see them during the day too & I get them because of me being unable to work, but also to have some real life company outside of my family. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Leicht lächelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Leicht lächelndes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👍" title="Thumbs up" aria-label="Emoji: Thumbs up">

So yeah. As I mentioned already, I don& #39;t like talking about this stuff too often, but I suppose those who are new or fairly new to my profile may as well know why I never mention working or whatever. I hope this thread answers this question for the people where this applies. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙂" title="Leicht lächelndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Leicht lächelndes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏" title="Folded hands" aria-label="Emoji: Folded hands">
