Questions About Lab Technician Training

[Steelbookcollector217]

I actually am unemployed but had enough left from my past retail job to pay for the certificate level training. I am hoping to be able to get an introductory level job in a field I enjoy. I don't have a driver's liscense and have never lived on my own ( I'm still with my parents. )

i can relate to, i've never lived on my own either, however i have been a licensed car driver since i was 18, but the only jobs i've had in my life are entry-level jobs or dead-end jobs, or jobs that are not considered real career professional jobs, such as a grocery store, restaurant, retail, warehouse.

But struggling to live independently i think is quite common for people on the autism spectrum, heck, i think even research and modern times have confirmed that in the 21st century, its more common for people than ever before to live with their folks later than in previous decades, or taking much longer to leave the nest, autism or not.

The trick for being on the spectrum is first geta bit of education and then build I was never diagnosed so ignorance is bliss how many of use get initial employment we some how suspect we do not fit in get a Bit of education build then the better positions happen Many of us start with university build this into graduate degree. If social skills are missing hard to overcome. Keep in mind many oy us like solitary and deep concentration both ideally suited for educational pursuits, I personally really enjoyed college not engaging in social activities did not bother me. Same with night school enjoyed it,

yeah, on reddit, i spoke to this one man, who is near his 50s, his parents are still around, and he says he still gets financial help from them, and he says if his folks were gone, he would be homeless, but he is employed, he says:

"I’m a high school therapist working with adolescents with adhd, autism, dyslexia, and other learning disabilities such as auditorial processing disorder, etc." "Terrified what will happen when they are gone."

But at the same time, he says he thinks he is on the right path: "Yep. I’d be homeless without them. I can’t afford a security deposit or first months rent to get into a place if I had too. But that will change. I’m saving up and paid all my debt."

But he is very thankful that his parents had him at a very young age, my parents were older when they had me and my brother.
