Getting a job just sounds shit. Might as well squeeze the system, volunteer, join a club and just do what I want to do. Fuck a system that looks down on us because we don’t act a certain way. I’ve been to uni, was never happy in education, tried getting jobs and failed. The way this country is I don’t think there’s much point.

I'm 28, also struggling a lot with unemployment. I love video editing and production, and want to work with that, but recently I'm considering just getting a "normal" job I know I would not like, just to not be unemployed. But I know that would be horrible too.

My son is on the spectrum and he's really struggling with unemployment. It breaks my heart to see how hard he tries but he keeps getting fired.

one thing i hate as an autistic male is the fact that TH-cam seems to put the female autist creators towards the top of the search results. I cannot relate to them at all. They have hijacked the attention economy of this platforms autistic community to, what else, whinge over special quirks that are at best mild inconveniences in the greater scheme. Imagine being outcasted your entire life over more than just quirks. They have no idea. This is why I cherish videos like yours, they are rare. They are relatable.

I think out of all disabilities, autism is stigmatised the most. Other disabilities such as ADHD, dyslexia are seen as “cool” or “trendy”, whereas autism is seen as weird.

Everything you have said in this video, I have been through. I am 25, autistic and have been unemployed for about a year and a half. Been attending interviews, completing tasks, the whole lot. All unsuccessful. Rejection after rejection. I have been helping out with admin in my parent’s business in the time being, being paid from that. I really don’t think there’s a place for me in the corporate world, and I think I’ll just have to work with my parents.
