I'm an insurance broker specializing in mid-to-large commercial policies. I'm doing okay. I'm higher-functioning ASD (originally Asperger's) and do well professionally.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?
It's just as difficult to get a disability pension here (all of us have free health care here so that's not an issue for us) but I breezed through it purely by luck.yeah i'm trying to get ahold of my psychologist whom i have known since elementary school, i speak with him like 2 to 3 times a year, i last spoke to him in November, i did bring up this topic, i don't remember everything he said but i do remember he told me that its difficult to get on SSI, he has other clients who struggled to get on it
for rent assisted apartment, are you living alone?I’m a kitchen helper who works only part time. I haven’t worked full time since 2018. I’m going back to school to study for an accounting clerk certificate. Hopefully that will help me get a better job.
I moved out of my parents’ house at the end of last year. I’m in a rent assisted apartment. It feels good to be independent!
