have a degree in engineering, been working a few years, i lost count of how many jobs i changed, primary reason is social skill issue, consider me autistic.

My working experience -

Contractors: worked for a few contractors, i get famous as a weirdo in each one of them, i resigned from them within a few months

Consultant: worked for 2 consultants. got fired from 1, the boss said my people don't want to work with me. resigned from 1 because people say boss no assign job to me cuz i look like idiot.

Facility manager at mall: People complain i too quiet during lunch, i resigned

Tech: a career switch, getting paid 2k internship salary, promised a salary higher than i have ever drawn after 1 year. The workforce is very young and i am the among oldest, the job has a lot freedom, people don't have the typical corporate behavior here and people rarely care about others. My personality seems to be acceptable here because no one cares about each other. The company receives grants/projects, assign to each of us, we do our own researches on how to do and do our own thing

I have no tech background, not sure how sustainable is this employment and not sure how serious is the promise and i actually kind of like consultant job so I applied for draftsman at consultant thinking my autism won't hinder much but the boss gave me engineer position

So should i continue the tech internship or go for the consultant job? again? I only like my tech job because of the freedom

engineer at consultant has risks cuz the interviewer emphasized meetings etc. I haven't been completely honest about my personality and history. I think my behavior is acceptable to the tech company, i don't think traditional workplace can accept

or other career strategies? currently late 20s

Question, did you disclose about your autism in your application ?

Yeah I think its a rock and a hard case, I understand your situation.

Employers/HR are idiots, they don't really have equal opportunity. Once they hear this, they will straight away nullify.

I think you better stay at your current position. Since you already admitted you're not good with socializing.

Maybe you have a chat with your boss on this ? But it could be that he is forced to do so, because he needs to reorganize his team, perhaps ?

at the same time, maybe you should consider going through some therapy. May help you in the long run to deal with people. Therapy may help to train how you modify your autism situation to the best to deal with your situation maybe ?

I did not disclose, i don't have official diagnosis, i am not obligated to disclose anything

HRs are doing their job right for rejecting autistic ppl if the workplace isn't prepared to accommodate one
forced to do what?

then how do you know you were diagnosed autism?

Ii can sense something wrong with my biochemistry, it's physical, something missing when i talk to people, i don't know how to behave properly around people, it's not knowledge issue like i failed to learn it, if that is the case it would've been resolved by now. i even suspected iq deficiencies but i did fine in mensa

maybe is something else...asperger ?

bipolar ?

Don't simply diagnose urself, else ur reaction will be wrong according to ur belief.

get urself diagnosed correctly.

if it is affecting u seriously, u better get the answer.

go see a specialist please.

Haha why bipolar, I’m not bipolar or Asperger

I have went to dr, dr didn’t think I’m autistic, they finished the diagnosis in 3 seconds saying ‘I look already know you’re not autistic’
So I think autistic spectrum is not recognised here, autism is more like Asperger or Down syndrome here
*
No such thing as autism spectrum not diagnose here.

then u are diagnosing urself.

don't jump to conclusions.

else u are seeking wrong treatment/conditions for urself

I am just giving examples, it could other psychological problems.

I used to be a quiet person who don't like to socialize when I first came out to work.
Now I am different due to work experience...

Anyway, the new company withdrawn my offer, as if they found out the post, current boss seem to know as well, gg, is my ip tracked, I thought I didn’t share anything revealing enough to identify me, my apologies to everyone, if they are still watching

i think you better check for schizo.

no employer is so free to check on ur IP.

but one fact is they will call your former employer for reference check.

u informed us that u were sacked before ?
