Don't get me wrong, I don't like to use autism as an excuse all the time, don't like to use it as a crutch, and overall, it's best to not blame it for everything, but my question is, is it normal or just common for people with Autism to be underemployed?
Or to live with their parents, folks, late in life or don't move out of their folks house until later?
Overall, not be financially stable yet or not have a job, career, that pays them well enough to make ends meet?
Just asking because I work at an Amazon warehouse making $20.90 an hour at the moment, and some days of the week, Friday through Sunday, i get paid $22.40 an hour, and I have been stressed and worried about my future lately. I normally work 5 days week. The only jobs, employers i have worked in my life, are at a restaurant, grocery store, and a warehouse. I'm at year number 3 at Amazon, and i previously worked at a grocery store for 4 years. So i'm proud of myself for being able to get and hold onto jobs, even if i have never had a high level corporate professional job, or something in healthcare, office, etc., jobs or careers that require college education, etc.
Because I do still get some financial support from my parents and obviously my folks are not going to be around forever, and that is no doubt a huge source of stress and worry for mine lately.
What do you people here do for work? But overall, is being underemployed or struggling with career, not getting paid enough, common for autism people on the spectrum? I'm open to believe that this is also common for people without autism as well, but i think its a little bit more common for those on the autism spectrum than those who are not right?
