Having "Good for work autism" only pays so much.
I understand the work processes inside, and backwards. Now I spent most of my time explaining basic processes to people who've been working at my job for 5 years but apparently never used their phone once in all those years.
Or explaining the rules of the handbook to my boss, my bosses boss, or the director of the entire call center. But when I bring up that I want a promotion suddenly I don't have the experience despite teaching my supervisor how to do his job.
Be you may your autism bring you joy
That's very true. I look at my brother and understand that. He's the smartest guy I know, and was pretty successful, until autistic burnout hit him, and he's been in recovery for years
There's always barriers for us, whether it's invisible barriers only NTs know how to get past, or our own autism burning us out. This world isn't very kind to us, which is why we much be kind to each other
