I was let go from my last job because I couldn't fit into the "office culture", and now I'm really struggling to get a job because of "poor communication skills".
I've been looking for 4 months, with 90% of my rejections being something to do with my communication skills.
I feel worthless honestly, and the worst thing about all this is that there is really nothing can do to make my autism disappear.
And honestly, I don't even see why my autism is a problem. I've always seen my autism and quietness as my super power, and it drive me nuts that you people don't see that too.
I was going to ask for help, but realistically that's pointless - I won't change in any significant way. And yeah, I know, "just be good enough that they look past it".
Please just try to be more understanding. It genuinely upsets me because I'm a pretty good developer, yet I know people who are really quite terrible, but they can bullshit well so they're all doing better than me. And this is at your expense quite frankly. The dude writes terrible code, but he came across well, so obviously we hired him...
Oh, and you can all fuck right off with your office culture. Stop wasting yours and my time sending each other cat.gif and joking about how the German IT guy is a secret Nazi. It's not remotely funny, I can't even explain how mad it makes me that I was let go for not participating in this madness.
Urgh, autistic rant over. I've got work to do.
