Left of Normal Episode 118 - Why Autistics Suck at Most Jobs Part 1 of 2
Manage episode 375298135 series 3348693
This was going to be an episode on how those with autism manage the world of being an entrepreneur, running a business, and lead teams or groups... but setting the stage took a bit longer than expected, so entrepreneurship will come next week.
In this episode we take a gander at a variety of jobs that I had, and why they all sucked. Why I bombed interviews if I could even get an interview, and why I allowed myself to be walked all over when I was in my 20's.
Because jobs are rarely spectrum friendly, and interviews are by nature discriminatory against those on the spectrum, it's estimated that 80% of autistics are unemployed or underemployed.
Next week's episode will discuss how to beat the system, stick it to the man (by becoming the man), and work in a capacity that is in line with the neurodivergent mind.
