OT OT Discussion

I just checked out Google for good tech jobs for people with Asperger's, which I have and here is what I copied/pasted from Google:

Some of the best jobs for people with Asperger's include careers in STEM (like programming, engineering, and science), IT and computer-related fields (such as software testing and web design), and jobs in the arts (like graphic design, photography, and music composition). Other strong options are those that align with specific interests, often in structured environments with less social demand, such as accounting, animal training, and roles in skilled trades or maintenance.

STEM and tech

Arts and creative
  • Graphic design: Can involve creating logos, designing websites, or other visual work.

  • Photography: Offers a way to focus on visual details and creative expression.

  • Music: Can include composition, tuning, or playing musical instruments.
Detail-oriented and structured
  • Accounting and finance: Provides a structured environment with a focus on data and rules.

  • Software testing: Emphasizes the keen eye for detail needed to find bugs in systems.

  • Drafting and equipment design: Involves a high degree of precision and focus.

  • Inventory control: A job that relies on organization and accuracy.

  • Journalism and copy editing: Requires accuracy in gathering and presenting facts.
Less social or independent

  • Animal training: Often a passion for individuals who prefer working with animals over people.

  • Skilled trades: Includes roles like mechanic, plumber, or electrician, which can be less client-facing.

  • Warehouse and stocking: Jobs that involve repetitive, organized tasks.

  • Data entry and transcription: Can be done independently and requires accuracy.

  • Freelancing and entrepreneurship: Allows for self-direction and the ability to work from home, which can be ideal for those with specific interests.
As you can see, a lot of this aligns with my personal experiences, aspects of my condition, and dreams and abilities and talent. Trouble I'm having is that I'm hard getting that starting position anywhere! I don't blame my autism; I blame those employers that make applicants take a VERY STRESSFUL personality test to get an entry level job, and if I manage to get an interview, they end the hiring process after just one interview followed up with another rejection email, because they're prejudice of "different" people.
 
I was watching the movie CUBE recently since I've been basically picking out horror stuff all month. Weird thing that struck me was that some of the music sounded (just a bit) like the original RE4 save room music. Does anyone else hear the same at like 30 seconds in... it's a very specific sound and only brief. Someone in the comments mentioned it too.


Edit: I cracked the case, they both sampled another source, I wonder if Capcom paid this guy a high price...

 
Wanted to follow up on a certain situation I brought up a while ago. A certain someone reached out on HER birthday and it messed with my head. :rolleyes: Sounds like things aren't going well with the new guy and something happened. She was very flirty, told me she's been thinking of me and wanted to reach out but is STILL choosing the new guy despite it all and isn't leaving him yet either. Told her I'm not gonna be her back up plan nor can I be friends with her. Not gonna let her have her cake and eat it too and I honestly wish I knew who the guy was at this point so I could tell him his girlfriend is going behind his back to emotionally cheat with her ex. Such a strong and stable relationship they got going on there...

Make your move! Tell her in no uncertain terms that you want her to leave this other guy and you want her back. Make it very clear that what she did NEVER happens again. Be strong, definite, let her know you want her and this other guy can go to hell. Be the alpha and watch your opposing alpha limp away to bachelorhood.

Seems like a bad idea given the circumstances. Cut the dead weight loose and move on, it's easy and your life isn't centred around their whims. If they can't show you some respect then you've got to respect yourself.

I basically told her this but in a less aggressive way. The conversation was cordial but when I asked if she was still with the guy and why she was reaching out to me, she said "yes and he can be friends with his ex, I can't be with mine?". I told her no I can't be friends if that's what shes after because I still have feelings for her. She said "No I'm just saying" as if she was trying to justify to herself why reaching out was ok.
They really make things more complicated than they need to be
They really do. :rolleyes: As long as she remains with this guy, I'm not entertaining anymore breadcrumbs. Just wish I didn't give her the emotional validation I already did.

Pretty much, that's why I put a boundary in place and told her I'm not being Plan B. If she truly does miss me, she needs to drop him and choose me but that seems like its not happening (if at all) anytime soon.
