Beyond Autism awareness

Why employment is so hard for Autists

I have received much training over the years on how to write a Curriculum Vitae, how to answer interview questions, how to behave in interviews, on and on.  All of which was effectively useless, as the tricky bit is keeping jobs, not getting them.

I come across as bright and a quick learner, so the problems start when someone at work thinks that because I learnt everything so easily (or because they’ve heard that I picked everything up really easily) that I can take on more tasks.
