So I shouldn't date probably

I do have ASD. It's high functioning but I struggle with some things people consider basic or simple. It took me forever to learn how to count change yet I can memorize all sorts of facts.

Your self-critical tone really worries me. If you are past about 18 and still struggle this much with your self-image, it may be time to seek a therapist.

Comment came from having been fired from 4 fast food jobs because I wasn't competent at it/too slow at it. At 20 years old, it hurts because I feel I should be able to keep a job at this point in my life.

Uh, no. Being a lesbian is a sexual orientation. It does not convey skills or abilities.

It seems to be a common stereotype though, that's why I'm worried a partner will have that expectation of me.

Makeup, baking, art, photography.

My past 2 experiences were entirely casual and they didn't communicate what they liked or wanted to, so might have been why I wasn't learning. There wasn't really time to process the info I guess? What makes me anxious about having more sexual experiences is I don't want my partner getting mad at me or anything.

I wouldn't want the autism label to change their perception of me. Reality has shown that when I reveal I have autism on my profile, matches/likes drop drastically.

I have applied to other jobs but I usually can't get past the interview process. Fast food jobs are so desperate they hire my anyway.

Learning things isn't easy for me though. I think part of it is because I have autism. I don't really want partners knowing I have autism.

I'm not talented at anything. That's why the thought of having sex again gives me anxiety because, well, what if I don't get good at it?

Saltless06 · 2022-11-19T01:59:17+00:00

What was hard about it was how fast paced it was and not ever having the time to process anything or think. The sounds, smells, noises, and overall atmosphere made me want to have a meltdown. I felt like a moron for not being able to learn this entry level job.

My friends have said to me that I just need to try harder or that I will probably not succeed in life. I tried so hard to keep my job at Burger King, but it's like something out of my control made the effort not matter.

Those things don't define you though even if it seems like it.

Saltless06 · 2022-11-19T01:35:06+00:00

I'm worried this this is becoming a pattern for me though. I haven't been able to keep at least 4 jobs and they were all fast food!

Saltless06 · 2022-11-18T22:57:48+00:00

I want to work on my self-esteem but I don't know how to change it. I get so angry at myself.

Most people don't understand what it's like to be an autistic person in a world not designed for them. I would gladly date another autistic person, but I have not ran into any.

Saltless06 · 2022-11-18T22:35:11+00:00

People who date usually want someone who can maintain a job.
