    Open University for an Aspie?

    i went to an average university the conventional way, after college but didn't cope because of the social aspect and that they were insistent on prioritising social life over academic life. The support in place wasn't fit for purpose, they just asked me to go in their office and check on my...

    McDonald's called back .... LOL!

    That reminds me of a certain recent job opening I might have talked about on this site, the one where it was difficult to locate and would offer unreasonable hours with the role requiring carrying heavy loads on a regular basis, as well as dealing with people all the time.. Again the company or...

    McDonald's called back .... LOL!

    I'm also in the thought process of 'something is better than nothing' and i'm also in dire need of work that I will take anything, my only problem being i'm not the best looking guy to be hired for the job and have that ongoing notion that even if you stay for a week and lose the job it will...

    Why don't I fit in with other autistic people?

    I think i found quite recently my problem with not being able to understand other aspies or auties, is that I was not technically a sufferer of aspergers to begin with, and that my symptoms of dealing with everyday life resonate very similar to those who have schizo-affective disorder, and that...

    A higher spiritual truth to autism?

    My spiritual purpose is I know that it's all bogus, that everything Neil Degrasse Tyson all makes sense, and I see that religion makes as much sense as there being a flat earth, in that they are too ignorant to see the bigger picture, unable to think outside the box because the bible or whatever...

    Sensitive Topic I can't take it anymore! I'm thinking of committing suicide

    I once felt the way of being helpless, gone through some tough times (still am), fought through my depression without medication through regular exercise and sometimes yoga, or watching some science documentary explaining that you were nothing before you were born and will be nothing when you...

    23 Signs You're About To Be Fired

    I can imagine the sorts of roles where I would get fired after about a week without having to go through with it in reality, probably why I don't apply to as much jobs these days because i'm not the right fit for the job. For instance, say i was working in retail as a cashier; a week in and its...

    Possibility of doing a games design course at Doncaster College

    You could just go stream games on services like twitch or youtube, rack up some viewers, you may not get the audience you expect, if you are good at talking or have above average personality and are quite articulate its a big help as thats what people seem to be into nowadays. Personally i can't...

    Driving

    Don't drive because dont have the money to buy lessons/driving exam let alone a car, but if the situation is dire enough that I need one i would probably just opt for an automatic transmission because I don't think I could cope with all the gear shifts and the extra pedal just seems too much...

    Possibility of doing a games design course at Doncaster College

    I did a games course but for me turned out to be a waste even though its my hobby nowadays, probs cos the uni was one the top social ones in the country, or games jobs require alot of social interaction, contrary to what most people say about games careers saying they're great for aspies or...

    Finding an interest

    I've always had it in my mind that I dreamed of inventing a new computer or interface that would change the world and that the engineers were doing it all wrong and its not all based on mathematics but some alien language we haven't yet discovered/interpreted. If anything were my special...

    Sanctioned for Being Single or Alone

    I can speak from experience as a benefits claimant that through some research, I find that I can't apply for housing benefit (UK) as a single person without children if I were to live in a single bedroom flat or studio flat until i'm 35, or the alternative would be to do a house share which...

    Aspies and Team-Building

    I think i'll pass even though its the only real chance i've had at securing employment in forever, i've read up on the company reviews and experiences people have had in the interview process and alot of times I see team-building exercises come up as a crucial part of their process and that...

    Aspies and Team-Building

    I actually don't have a creative side or creative minded so that just makes my ability to work in a team that much harder. I've got an assessment coming up for a job soon and have been assured that it is heavily based around working with customers, within a team and have to interact with them...

    The ch4 Program about Autism last night

    My official documentation details that it's Infantile Autism/Kanner Syndrome, where the infantile pertains to the age of the individual being from 0-11 years, from then on I would assume would be just Kanner syndrome, tbh when I am labelled Aspergers or "guy with aspergers" it just sounds more...
