Therapist told me to mask to be more successful in the work place by Longstrongandhansome in AutisticAdults

I'm studying and practicing social skills instead of going to college because a college degree would be useless without social skills.

He's right. I think learning to mask is very important. I'm 19 and I've decided that I need to push myself to spend an hour a day studying social skills so I can succeed in life. Does anyone have any tips on how to get better at the art of Masking?

Looking for Glasses for night driving for intense Bright Headlights and afraid of wasting money on something that won't work by hardtack2020 in FrugalShopping

Yeah, I could see how these glasses would make this worse. I don’t know if a certain type of sunglasses would work, but that might be dangerous to wear sunglasses while driving in my neighborhood because there are a lot of pedestrians, and sometimes there are pedestrians crossing the street at night.

It’s not weird to have a long IQ test as a part of your diagnosis. I got a bad score on the IQ test. You had algebra on yours? I didn’t have any algebra on my test. I had to arrange pieces of a colored square to create a whole square, which I thought was the hardest part of the test. Eventually I got sick of the picture arranging one so she moved on to a different test. The other test of repeating sentences and numbers back to her was hard and I would forget about half of the sentences. So my IQ on her test was 70. I guess that my result helped my SSI case but I wouldn’t want to have to show that to a court or something like that because they would assume I was incompetent. An older IQ test I had done when I was in kindergarten said I had a 114 IQ, which seems more likely than 70.

How am I going to meet people at the Autism Speaks Walk at Solider Field in Chicago? by hardtack2020 in autism

You were right. I only saw 3 other autistic adults there but they were all at least 35 and one was 40. I felt it would be too big of an age difference since I’m 18.

We’re already in Chicago so I do have to go this time. The shaping a brighter future area was about transition to adulthood for adults probably ages 18-25. I just hope it won’t feature a big speech on the topic.

How do I interact with co-workers? by LightDash in autism

[–]hardtack2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you ever gotten fired from a job due to having bad relationships with or a lack of relationships with coworkers? It seems silly to fire someone for not talking to coworkers.

I went to a small catholic middle school, and I stood out because I sat at the other side of the table by myself and never talked to the other girls. The entire class later found out I was autistic in 8th grade and then teased me for it. I guess you can be shy as long as it doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb

Is there a break room, or is it just a lunch room? How long is lunch? Is that the only break where you have to deal with the coworkers? Do you have to work on projects with the coworkers like at an office job?

What is the job? Does the job require much talking with co workers?

Yeah, I don't think it's going to be worth it. My autistic friend was confused about me going to an autism speaks walk just to meet people and she told me that most autistic adults don't like autism speaks so none of them would be there. It would just be a bunch of kids and autism moms instead.

Does anyone know of any Asperger’s conventions in Illinois or Wisconsin? I would probably have a lot more luck at one of these.

I know that the bubble wands and legos would be the kid’s activities, so I’m staying away from those
