Several times I have had a full time job. I never really get fired from a job, but that doesn't mean that everything goes that easily. The problem is that while I am very capable at many things and I can actually focus on something, there are some things that I cannot handle really well.

- I don't handle pressure really well. While most people work better under pressure, I completely break down with pressure. Solutions: talking through what is actually needed, goes with my second point:
- I cannot work on things that don't serve something good. Most jobs involve inventing things when you go idle. Yeah, don't do that with me. I complete real jobs really quickly, sometimes needing to invent new ways to solve something.
- My way of working involves triggering a kind of laziness. I love things that reduce unnecessary work. And as such most jobs sound pretty pointless to me.
- Bad handling of transitions (something very autistic), including things like getting out of bed or getting to sleep. Hence I tend to have a not ideal sleeping rhythm, and I might get late at work. I have done 40h jobs though, so I can do that, but it's definitely not something that comes that easily for me.

People find it hard to imagine, because there are some things I do really well:

- For someone with autism, I am pretty social. I talk well with people, and especially for my second point:
- I am a pretty good troubleshooter. When I talk with someone, I generally manage to find the real problem, and solve it.
- I don't usually do the common solutions, because they rarely really fix the problem people have, instead I find a solution specific for the people I talk with.

And then we hit another "problem":

- I love fixing problems so much, that I usually tend to do it for free... Yeah, how can I survive in a job-oriented world just helping other people out without asking anything for it?

So that's also a problem I am trying to fix... but that's not so easy. Any suggestions?
