Frustrated with Job searching

You can probably find something in North Dakota right now, but what a transition. . .

Have you considered some of the game producers, most have IT jobs available. It would mean relocating but, companies like Trion Worlds, EA Games, Blizzard and others might have something you can do.

Most Western gaming companies are known for horrible places to work; including depressed wages, lack of benefits, extremely easy to be fired (there's no shortage of people who want to work there), regularly working 60-80 weeks to meet deadline, being laid off internally after the project's completion and must interview for other projects in hopes of being hired.

It's literally no big secret how cruel the Western developers are ran.
Hell the creators of Call of Duty were literally forced out by force from their own studio, when Activision discovered they were talking with EA.
They and their former employees at IW, sued Activision over failure to properly pay and compensate them for making Call of Dutys.

if you do figure something out let me know..... there's far too little information on adult autism. i started writing about my own experiences.... i have no idea if it would ever get published or anything but whenever i feel it's done i'm going to atleast try to throw it on the amazon kindle thing or something so it might help somebody. granted i can only go by my own experiences and what i've observed... but it's a lot better than nothing at all. i know just finding this site alone has helped me a lot since it kicked out a lot of that "wtf is wrong with me.. it must just be me" feeling. granted i don't think anybody is in my state, and a lot of people here and on other places seem to be UK based... but the experiences are all similar enough and it's made me change how i view others (to a point)
all autism really is, to me, is a whole lot of "quirks" built up into problems. everybody has some of the quirks, and fixing those quirks are very similar whether you're NT or ASD. but there are some key quirks which separate NT and ASD people due to their severity (like social issues)

i've always considered a type of "dear abby" newspaper column (though i dont know if people still read newspapers anymore)........ but for ASD problems. but i don't have the professional background for any newspaper to take me serious and it's probably against the law to just pay for an ad in a paper (or where ever) like that. you mentioned you're good with HTML.. what if you made a site for something like that and just had a donation link?

i'm just trying to think outside the box. i know, for me, i can't be stagnant.. i just implode. i need to always be doing something... even just helping people. it makes me feel productive like i could have some sort of impact on somebodies life in a positive way. i have this whole "hero syndrome" issue (i'm sure there's some kind of proper term for it........ ok i did a quick google, technically that is a term but i don't want to create the problems lol)...... basically, for me, i want to know that when i die i was able to accomplish something purposeful and meaningful in my life that altered somebody elses life in a positive way which they could pass on to others. i don't care if i never get rich from it, i don't want to be a celebrity over it, i don't even need people to really acknowledge it.. just so long as i can tell i did something live alteringly good for somebody. even if that means dieing in a burning building but i manage to save a strangers child.. somebody i never met in my life. as horrible and painful of a death it is, i would still be happy knowing i accomplished something of true meaning while alive

Hopefully I will.
I mean the U.S. and the states literally do not research and fund research for adults with ASDs.
They also pull the plug on any benefits you receive in most cases once you turn 22, thus are no longer tracked too.
Lastly there is a total lack of funding across the board because they want the data first.

Well the whole moving to PA thing didn't work out because they decided it was better for me to exhaust my options here in MI.
So later this August, sometime after the person in charge returns from out of town, I will have a meeting and see how it goes.
I've decided that I'm exhausted with dealing with job hunting and the mental toll it takes on me, so I am going to try seeing what happens at MRS in Michigan...
They claim they now have a robust service...
