How come so many high functioning autists are either chronically unemployed or are stuck working shitty mcjobs well into their 30s?

>>82383341 (OP)
Literally lack of social skills. Turns out they're pretty fucking important, especially when you have machines to do all the heavy mental lifting for you.

It's not what you know, it's who you know, I know no one.

>>82383341 (OP)
as a high functioning autismo you've only got four choices
>remain chronically unemployed
>become eternal mcwagie
>becoming somewhat mid fictional to fixate on something profitable
>be attractive
I picked three and I was able own a house in my early twenties, all it took was sacrificing all that good social karma I built up in my teens.

clown world has clown standarts

it's 80% social skills i.e. connections and 20% knowledge and competence
I'm pretty retarded but I got a few jobs through connections cause the guys I worked with liked my dumb sense of humour and blunt approach

>>82383341 (OP)
Hmm, it's like a job and getting a job is a social setting.

>>82383360
They're the only thing that's important, although it's not like "have a lot of friends and get along with people" social skills, it's more luck of who you knlw

>>82383488
You're not going to know very many people (esp those with useful connections) if your lack of social skills drives them all away.

>>82383360
>lack of social skills
applies only if you are a diagnosed retard. The REAL primary cause is the completely different nature neurodivirgent people have. Do you have any fucking idea how petty the average normie is? You do realize a simple mannerism or vocal pitch that is slightly off from what the average normie retard expects is enough to not land you a job? You do realize most people genuinely run on outdated decision-making software. Normie social dynamics are high school tier with a little less energy behind it, they will constantly expect you to conform to whatever retarded version of social dynamics theyve picked up in high school and if you dont then you get labeled as social inept. STOP THINKING OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS RIGHT, YOU WILL DRIVE YOURSELF INSANE.

>>82383591
They're winning, you're not. GIT GUD, nigger.

>>82383341 (OP)
What kind of social skills do you think you need for a job? Just be polite and be competent.

>>82383743
>Just be polite
Already asking for too much from the typical /r9k/ autist.

>>82383607
>winning
We obviously have two different definitions of "Winning". Getting a job that drains your time and energy just to be appealing to one or two treacherous cunts who will end up dumping your cheating on you IS NOT WINNING. This is where most men are at and they dont even realize it. There is no more winning in modern society.

>>82383816
Having a job so you can afford to eat and have a roof over your head and maybe nice things is better than not having a job and not being able to afford either. So ya, they're winning, and you're not. LOSER!

I'll tell you exactly why I don't work. It's hard to transition into work, and I don't really understand the process.
If someone just gave me a job. Better yet, if someone was willing to drive me to the job, and maybe offer live-in accommodation, I'd probably work all day, just to have something to do.
I just don't get anything about how neurotypicals live. How do they just understand how to do everything? How do they know when there's a job opportunity, and when they should take it? How do they even manage getting out of bed at the same time every day, and driving to a place? That's a lot of steps, and it's stressful.

>>82383834
>Having a job so you can afford to eat and have a roof over your head
the majority of people working make less than 40k a year; they can't afford a roof over their head lmao.

>>82383861
Yeah they can: with roommates in a crack den in the ghetto. But that requires social skills, which the autistic don't have lmaooooooooooooo

>>82383591
I believe this, honestly. I've seen recruiters say they denied candidates that had the skills because they didn't vibe with them.

>>82383901
that's hardly winning anon, lol

>>82383935
The alternative is literally starving on the street lmfao

>>82383935
Not even joking, go to your nearest soup kitchen and see if you want to hang around those """people""" all day. Or eat the meager literal slop portions they call "food". Because that's going to be your life if you make yourself unemployable.

>>82383591
Pretty much this. An herd of nigger cattle.

>>82383955
I think that might happen to me, actually. I am not going back to living with roommates. When my parents die and I lose my job and the house, it is street with me. Maybe I will die before all of that

>>82383752
>Already asking for too much from the typical /r9k/ autist.
Then their problem isn't autism, they just have low iq. Being polite is just following a script. There isn't much nuance to it.

>>82383968
I see your kind all the time when I volunteer at the soup kitchen. Always in whatever BING BING WAHOO!!!! graphic t-shirt their parents last saw them in. It's always satisfying seeing life on the street beat the entitlement out of you overgrown children.

>>82383341 (OP)
Tough love, they should make a company out of their basement while the ubermensch get easy money jobs since theyre better off delegating those below them. Its just the way the world works, and is more efficient. That way they can buy 80 thousand dollar fag cars and eat at restaurants with their stupid ass wife or some shit.

>>82383937
>>82383955
that's why we autistic kings stay neet and live with our parents. now go and find a second job before blackrock raises your rent, champs

>>82383979
They know what the script is, they just decided for """whatever reason""" that the rules don't apply to them so they don't have to follow it. Then shockedpikachuface.png when they face the predictable consequences for their own behavior.

>>82383985
>whats wrong with the economy
Well first off theres nothing wrong with the economy. Second off the proprietary mechanism function of such divulgences is that of a nigger. If thr niggers could they would enslave us all.

>>82383997
>why do the niggers have to be the lower class
Because i am good at delegating and management of proprietary resources and functions.

>>82383988
Meanwhile the father figure substitute you faggots voted for is cutting your neetbuxx and floating ideas like forcing you into work camps to replace all the deported labor. Soon you'll have to pay back what you've stolen from the taxpayer, with interest!

>>82384011
lol the stupid nigger can't even decide whether or not he wants to implement tarrifs. even if he did decide to cut neetbux the courts will assrape him and shut him down just like they're doing now. it was still fun voting for him though just to see you retards have another melty :)

>>82383341 (OP)
I don't know if I'm an actual diagnosed autist, though I suspect I am on the spectrum, but as a 31 year old neet who has worked one year in my life I'll tell you why.

The societal carrots and sticks mean almost nothing to me. In terms of things that aren't my own special interests I am completely disinterested. I could easily live my entire life in a very simply little house as a recluse just doing what I want to do. Social status means absolutely nothing to me, consumption for the sake of it, excess income to spend on things I don't care about. All meaningless.

When I worked a very simple job in a warehouse for a year it felt like every day I was being pulled apart at the seams.
From what I've gathered normies are able to live their entire life for the most part on autopilot. Only switching on in key moments etc.
I am completely incapable of living on autopilot. My mind is fully on all the time and I am hyper aware of all sensory discomfort. From the severe discomfort of putting workpants on, to the assault of traffic, noise etc of the outside world.

By the time I had made it to work at 8am I'd already suffered more sensory stimulation than I otherwise would in an ideal day.

Put simply everything about the neurotypical world is absolute exhausting to me. There are basically no conditions where I desire to be in it nor feel genuine reward from it.

>>82384044
You should ask the spics if the courts are playing catch-up fast enough. Oh wait, forgot you flunked out of high school before the grade level spanish class was even available for. lol, lmao even.

>>82384059
seethe harder lol. i'll stay here in my comfy neetcave while you toil for shekels. chop chop, you don't want to end up on the streets do you?

>>82384117
Honestly, you're probably a lot closer to ending up on the streets considering your parents are going to die one day and leave you with nothing from having to spend all their (meager) money supporting them AND you waaaaayyyyy past the time they expected to. Hell, I know quite a few cases of spiteful boomers donating their remaining savings to charity/other more deserving relatives just to spite their little shit.

>>82384147
>you're probably a lot closer to ending up on the streets considering your parents are going to die one day and leave you with nothing from having to spend all their (meager) money supporting them AND you waaaaayyyyy past the time they expected to.
not going to happen. my parents are white, they don't spite their children like niggers or chinks. they have plenty of money saved from and have a hefty union pension. i'm going to inherit their house when they die, or possibly my grandparent's house which they also own. stay assmad faggot, you'll be working your entire life just to afford your 1-bedroom apartment that you split with niggers while i stay comfy as a need :)

>>82384210

Got it inverted, bud. Can't even stereotype right baka.

k. keep seething wagie.

>>82383341 (OP)
If you're an autist or an outcast you have to either be an artfag, techfag or a medicalfag. There are probably other options but those seem to be the most common. You have to go into specialized fields.

>>82383341 (OP)
Autists are not good at climbing hierarchies.

>>82383341 (OP)
I have sensory problems :l
It fucked me life up really bad

>>82384257

Out because they screen for social skills aka "bedside manner" now.

I am highly autistic and make over 100k at 24, and I have a wife and kid. No excuses.

>>82383341 (OP)
i work as a software engineer at fb. Get paid a lot but not really worth it since I cannot form connections with woman. I yearn to be a neurotypical instead where I could enjoy life like a normal person instead

>>82383341 (OP)
because autism by definition means you are low functioning. these people cannot comprehend how to perform a sequence of tasks

>>82384683
You're wrong, autism does well with performing a sequence of tasks. It's one of the few things they do well. Tell someone to do a task A,B,C they will do it every time. It's when you want to the task to be A, C, and sometimes Z do autistic people suffer. It's why the army works great.

>>82383992
You are such a millennial it's unreal

>>82383834
I never said I lacked a source of income, anon. Im just not calling a normie retard 'boss' or filtering myself for other peoples convenience. I still stand by my initial point. If anything, id rather take my untaxed ~120$ i earn per day by my own wits rather than have double that post tax whilst spending 8h slaving away. Safly my business model isnt exactly scalable but it beats the hell out of actual work since all I do is middle man everything i possibly can.

>>82383861
they can, they just don't waste money on shit like doordash and have roommates.

living alone is for people with a triple digit IQ

>>82383360
This, one thing that no one tells you is that when you grow up life is still high school, in that it's a big social game and popularity contest. I've seen several times how someone is objectively a worse coworker gets preferrential treatment meanwhile the type who tries to just buckle down, do there work and go home often gets shafted. A big part of success and hireability and networking is just how likeable you are. I've even see videos from several hiring manager types saying shit like, "yeah you and everyone else has a decent resume, and you might be a quote good interviewer, but are you making the people across from you like you? Thats going to be who gets the job. If every one is decent on paper the person who hits it off better is going to get hired because no one likes working with people they son't like or think are weird." They often gloss this over with statements like "being a good fit for the team/company culture". It's a social game, you can be a mid as fuck worker but as long as you're likeable you will go places. Think about every manager you ever had. They were probably incomptent as shit but they knew how to play the game to get to their position. You constantly have to be balancing not only your work performance yes, but the other half of the balance is schmoozing people so they like you. You gotta just put on a face and pretend to be someone else.

Oh, and everyone who does the hiring is an HR stacy. You can imagine the kind of effects that has on hiring.

>>82383341 (OP)
>How come so many high functioning autists are either chronically unemployed or are stuck working shitty mcjobs well into their 30s?
The gutting of the Western economy, for the outsourcing to 1.4B Red Chinese slaves, basically eliminated any non-social job.
Therefore autists are basically unemployable in these hellish 'leftover jobs'. So fuck the wage-cuck life, I'll take my 20 years of NEETbux.
I hope we get a UBI and Keynes 15 hour work week in the West, so all autists can be liberated from this miserable wage-slave existence.

>>82384053
Same and based. Except I worked in payroll. Was also dealing with a life-changing bereavement.
Job should have been comfy, except for those FUCKING phones, the increasing workload, and asshole colleagues ruining it all for the nicer ones.
I was exhausted all the time. Yes, with my 'bux, or on a UBI, I much prefer to live like a hermit. I don't give a shit about materialism or outings.
Sadly, this assured my perma-inceldom, and I'm almost 40 now. Just waiting to die early, and hoping I'm never forced into wage-cucking again.

>>82386530
Unfortunetly UBI and socialism would only work in white countries. Good luck getting it to work while importing a billion browns

What? Every other assburger than me I ever encountered was working in IT same as me. Idk what you even talking about. Autism takes big chunk of charisma but it gives you intelligence in return.

>>82388051
different kind of placing on the spectrum my nigga.
You're talking the good nerdy IT engineer software developer korean or chinese exchange student autismo.
I think OP is referring to the normie minus autismo.

TFW autist, but have been told that I can be charismatic.
That high introversion and social anxiety just kills me in being a functional carbon-based lifeform.

>>82386395
FUCK, this makes me so mad. Women should only do hiring in a limited capacity.

>>82388146
HR is a fucking disgrace to humanity. Even the name is dystopian.
Much like Soviet commissars (and apparatchiks) - The first who deserve the rope.

>>82384053
You sound like an autist, all this sensory overload stuff. I would get a real diagnosis if I were you.

Without exaggeration, people will join my workplace and be on better terms with everyone in one week than what I have achieved in an entire year working here.

For a whole year I tried my best with gestures that are a big deal to me (saying hello to someone, smiling at someone, making brief eye contact with someone) but I have come to the realisation that these are meaningless and they have not served to build a good reputation at work.

What normoids are expecting is for you to be interested in them, to ask them about their lives, what they've been getting up to lately, listen to their stories, share some funny anecdotes of your own, let them in on your own life, bitch about bosses, whine about work. Every single day these 'work relationships' need to be fostered and tended to, socially and verbally. I'm not interested in doing that.

Naively I thought I would be OK if I just smiled at people, occasionally said Hello / Good Morning, and got on with my work. I've stopped a lot of the smiles and eye contact though because there's no point. I could spend 5-10 years saying hello and good morning to people and they'd think I was a lunatic, as they do currently. These people don't understand how someone can go to work every day and just do the work without caring to know the other people who work there. While I am capable of polite indifference, my coworkers respond to me being quiet by hating me and thinking me odd.

>>82384257
>be an artfag or techfag
True. I just so happen to be both

Not sure about this one. You still have to interact with patients
