    I'm tired of being treated like garbage.

    It's been like this my entire life. I was bullied for my weight and being on the spectrum, my mother physically and verbally abused me, my father was never there for me at all, and I've had friends and relatives criticize me and ghost me out of nowhere. While working in education, I was...

    Autism and anger issues (I’m ALWAYS angry)

    Are you sure anger isn’t an autism issue? I’ve seen several sources that say it is

    Autism and anger issues (I’m ALWAYS angry)

    I believe my anger is a mask for sadness. Sadness over past traumas and disappointments and sadness over how people have treated me.

    Autism and anger issues (I’m ALWAYS angry)

    When I was a kid, I was very happy-go-lucky. I liked having fun, I got along with my peers, and I very rarely lost my temper. But around the end of elementary school and the start of middle school, that began to change. I started to get very angry, lashing out at classmates, teachers, and my...

    Tried to live a normal life with Autism and failed, not sure what do to next.

    Because my entire life I've been told that I was a loser, and that I would never amount to anything. And the thing I wanted more than anything was to prove those people wrong and shove it in their faces.

    I prefer working with older students, high school aged or older. They're more mature and don't need to be redirected as often. Alas, it's pointless. As I said before, no school in my area wants to hire me. I've been more or less blacklisted and my time in education was so soul-crushing I have no...

    My triggers were students mocking me and not doing as they were told. In hindsight, it was probably foolish of me to get into the education field. I'll consider respite care.

    Tried to live a normal life with Autism and failed, not sure what do to next.

    No school in my area wants to hire me. To make a long story short, there were too many incidents of me losing my temper with students. I don't want to go back either though. I was treated like garbage (eg. the aforementioned verbal abuse and the principal who told me, a college-educated adult...

    I don't really see how I can at this point. No one wants to hire me whether I disclose my disability or not. How can you move forward when you can't even move into employment?

    1. I thought I could be a great teacher, or barring that, a great teacher assistant. I believe I was at my best when I was working with my student at the alternative school before they were taken out by their parents. I was good at handling them and communicating with their parents. 2. I don't...

    Tried to live a normal life with Autism and failed, not sure what do to next.

    I was diagnosed with Autism shortly before starting kindergarten. I had always been "higher-functioning" but I still had issues with my social skills and behavior. I would often get angry over small things and argue with classmates. Nevertheless, I got through high school and decided to go to...
