Can I hold a job? No, not a mundane job where I'm only doing it for the money.
Do I have an amazing career? Yes! I am a singer, songwriter, musician, promoter, audio technician and more. I love my career, been doing it since I was sixteen and, seriously since nineteen. I built in on my biggest passion, I love music. A lot of it was hard at firs, the publicity, social events, interviews, dealing with crowds, people that seemed so much more powerful than me, all of that was difficult, and daunting, caused me several meltdowns. Then that amazing day came when those same people I used to fear and call Sir and Ma'am were calling me Ma'am, praising me to others, and the newcomers were just as intimidated by me as I used to be by those people I now consider my peers and friends.
I think, as Aspies, we may have to work at jobs we dislike and struggle with but, we should, no matter what we must do to earn money, work toward building a career based on our passions, one we will be willing to deal with the difficult parts of to make a living using our passion, doing something we love and are 100% focused on when we are doing it. When we do that, there is no stopping us, what we do doesn't matter, we will use our focus and determination and, ability to learn every detail perfectly to be the best and, that's a great feeling to know you are one of the best there is at whatever you do and, you love doing it.
Work and play gets blurred, work is play, your relaxation, you passion is your work, you're getting paid do be you and, that rocks.
