On top of that I'm openly gay and as you all know there are no protections in most states for LGBT people. So I have that to deal with, on top of being autistic. The job I went for last week I don't think went very well, I did my best but I just didn't click with the interviewer she seemed less than impressed to put it mildly. I went the other day for a job for a CSA call-center position, my thinking was that since it would all be over the telephone I could handle it. I took the assessments and needless to say that never goes well. I am a very visual person, with a terrible short-term memory. If a bunch of stuff comes at me through the ears, at once, I can't remember it. No way. Unless I have it written down.
So that didn't go well.
I am too, It's like being in a division of a division of society! few people I've met or spoken to are both. Anyway, I digress.. I was meaning to say that I don't think it's ever hindered me in getting a job not here in the UK at least.
The nice thing I've found is in my role people come to me for answers to problems, because they want something from us (the business) they tend to be very accepting of whoever or whatever you are.
Chin up - it's hard but worthwhile..
