How have you managed to navigate a workplace while having the tism, or other disorders that impede social interaction, like social anxiety?Autists usually get brutally bullied/ostracized in the workplace, both by managers and co-workers. I have tended to avoid this, in part because I>rarely open up about personal details that could be used against me>pretend to adopt, or at least don't contradict, the dominant attitudes/ideologies/biases of the group>when ribbing does happen, lean into it joking about myself, but without actually revealing anything>but NEVER engage in banter towards anyone in return, as they could take it the wrong way, and I am always in a more vulnerable position than them.
>>85841376I don't work? retard?
>>85841376I had a very peculiar job were literally everyone else was on the spectrum so it didn't matter.
Forgot to mention this:lying is your friend. No, you don't actually have to admit you are a virgin. You don't actually have to admit that you did nothing of note on your time off. Hearing the truth makes both you, and the person you're telling it to, uncomfortable.Those type of lies are victimless, and are necesary for your survival.
>>85841376I haven't managed at all, somehow I got hired but everyone very clearly thinks I'm weird as fuck and they either talk to me like I'm retarded or straight up ignore me.I think my boss really pities me which means I won't get fired but also won't get promoted.Everyday is an embarrassing hell, I wish so bad that I worked remote.
>>85841376Oh my sweet Tamara, where do i even start
>>85841376If you are black like me they will not say anything about your autistic tendencies because they will appear racist. They make efforts to include you and appeal to your race. For example, if you are Mexican they might slip in every now and then how they LOVED the movie Coco. If you are black, they mention so many times how much they LOVE sovl food.
>>85841401This is the dream. What do you do for work?Tood bad IT isn't really like this anymore, I'm in IT but everyone is a normie with no tism except for me and one other guy.
>>85841376Do what this guy did in the show, but dont get a big head and cut the act>realize normies are babbling retards SOLELY focused on status at all costs>ANY sort of thing they can use to push others down WILL be used regardless of how depraved, shitty or even costly it is to themselves>they are lazy niggers and will not do anything themselves positively, rather they try to work off of others and be associated with people who do stuff(less than 10% of people)Literally just stay silent or stick to SOLELY impersonal greetings or vague questions, NEVER say anything about yourself on any level at all and just nod, smile and agree when they blather on about whatever retarded shit
>>85841449Keyword had. I was a 35 series in the army and all the 35 series were off except the 35Ms. I've been IT before when I was in high school, but everyone in my department was a normie except for one black guy.

>>85841478Onfonemgrave my nigga
>>85841477Sorry, didn't pay attention to the verb tense.Damn yeah that sounds like it was and interesting job
>>85841376Im a schizoid I am a Groundskeeper so I spend most of my time on my own. I usually only talk to my supervisor when I need something or he has something for me to do.
I speak as little as possible, try to be seen as little as possible, and do as much work as possible when no one is looking. my boss loves me. they all know I'm a complete dork and I'm sure they make fun of me behind my back, but that's okay. I'd make fun of me too.
>>85841513Yeah there are certain jobs that are prime for schizoids. Im a spray tech, basically just drive a truck around the county and spray pesticides on the plants around government buildings, schools, police stations, etc. basically dont talk to anyone but my boss who tells me what the day will be
>>85841376most people are autistic, or were raised to believe they were through internet culture these days, at least it seems so to me.
>>85841566That's only on the internet with people self-diagnosing, I think.During college and the two jobs I've worked I've been the only obvious autist in the room, everyone else was normal to extremely normal. High school had more autists, not sure what happened to them.
I self medicated with opiates but even with that most jobs are too socially exhausting and I burn out fast. Doing shit tier night shift jobs like commercial cleaning is good for autists but the pay is so shit it's not worth doing unless you absolutely need to. Ive been a NEET for the better part of my adult life and since I got diagnosed with autism and adhd I get extra gibs plus funding for a bunch of services like a personal trainer and nutritionist, the government hasnt bugged me to go to meetings or any of the bullshit I had to do to stay on normal welfare.
>>85841376i dont. youre gonna deal with my autism at full power and youre gonna like it.
>>85841376>how have you managedi got fired by my bitch of a manager and never bothered really applying to many other jobs.some managers and coworkers and nice and want to get shit done, with others it feels like youre back in highschool dealing with retards
