I have no idea if this is the right forum, but I was just wondering how many of you CANNOT work? I have been on disability for about 2 years now after having to leave my last job of 4 years, due to completely losing the plot and physical health issues.
I was REALLY pissed that I had to leave my job. I worked in Pathology of a major hospital. Loved my job, hated some of the people. I pushed and pushed to keep working, but just couldn't cut it. Mind you, I was doing my science degree while working full time and raising a child. No wonder I went completely nuts.
Just interested to hear how you cope and live.

I don't know if you could call it working. I renovate old derelect property and rent them out. No stress,or having to interact with other people. I don't know how well I would cope with doing a proper job. I'm lazy, badly motivated, and have a big problem with taking orders from people. I think I'd struggle to hold down a proper job for any length of time. I don't know if that's an aspie problem or an attitude problem, I just know I'd suck at it.

ive been on disability for the last 4 going on 5 years. to be truthfull i wanna go back to work but i just dont even know where to get started! i know i wont be going back to VR because those faggots really are worthless. the government really must not be that intrested in getting me back to work so im gonna stay on disability for as long as i can. i do struggle finachially though and in no way do i live a comfortable life style. food is the thing that really kills me every month! its so goddamn expencive. the cost of living is also high in my towns and my rent is outrageous it does include all of my utilities and basic cable though

Sounds AWESOME Butterflies! How did you get that gig? Is it really phyisical work?
I doubt it is about attitude problem. You sound like a very hard worker. I can only speak for myself, but I have always had a good work ethic, I just burn out so easily. must hibernate. This hibernation is the longest I have ever had. Time they are a'changing.
Take care of you,

I hear you, it is difficult, especially to eat well. I mean, they want you to get better, so you can go back to work but don't provide the means to make it happen. For example, I spend at least $200 a month on supplements and medication for my various health issues. Therapy costs me $200 a session. My various health professionals cost squillions even thought hey are worth it. Best docs I have ever had. So I go to Centrelink and say, "I got all this stuff to pay for. I am so grateful that you have helped me thus far, but are there any other services you can offer me?" and we got to fill out tons of forms and see my doc, which can't afford at the mo. I HATE whinging, but I am between a rock and a hard place, and I HATE feeling trapped.
Take care, Mr Antarctica

My cousin, and aunt and uncle bought most of them for me, but I've saved up and bought the last couple by myself.
Some of it can be quite physical. Putting up ceilings, and putting in kitchens is very hard work, but a lot of other things like painting, tiling, plastering, and laying flooring aren't really all that tiring. I'd say that the most time consuming jobs are probably the least tiring like painting, and the really hard jobs only take a few days to complete.
I wouldn't say I'm a hard worker at all. At most I maybe spend a couple of months a year working. I don't mind working hard for that small time, because it's for myself and I really enjoy the work, but I don't know that I could work 5 days a week at something I didn't love doing, and taking orders off of somebody I maybe don't respect.
I know what you mean about hibernating, after I finish with one place it's many months before I feel like starting on another. I don't know when, or even if I'll ever get round to doing another one.

I've been on diasability since '83, and in that time held down a job in the public service (my disability pension was for Legal Blindness). I was able to save up enough to own 2 houses, and be comfortable, but 12 years ago I had to take a redundancy. Don't miss work, as I say I'm retired, and it allows me to do what I want. I lived at home til I was 37, then moved to the bush and have been on my own since. I travel interstate every year and spend about 3-4 months away from home (I doubt Centrelink could do anything, cos I'm not permanently away from my usual address), and I'm able to get public transport free and taxis for half. Also, dentists are cheap cos I'm on a care plan, and my medicines are cheap as well.
-
I'm a student that also gets disability. Getting 196 a week for just sitting on my arse is aright but I wouldn't mind getting a proper job, however my past job experiences were a bit shit and I've had major difficulties even passing a basic job interview. Because of said difficulties at interviews, no matter how much I actively looked for work, I still got nowhere - a bit of social problems and you're instantly fucked. They're looking for confident people who can talk shit, traits I simply don't have unless I practised extensively. However I've had luck as of late, doing photography for other people and putting photos in exhibitions. I've also got a good reference from doing work experience at a local newspaper, even offering an open part time job placement for editing their video footage for their website.
Past jobs:
- Used to work at a petrol station. Got sacked because I did a mixup with the petrol/diesel with one person's car, ruining their engine. They were too "polite" to say I was sacked though, cunts.
- Worked at a music shop, general maintenance and managed the keyboard section. Got "politely" sacked once again over being lazy, but when you have very few people coming in and a boss who's a complete gobshite then you can see why I went lazy.
- Worked at a local posh hotel as a cleaner, although I ended up mostly cleaning up vomit and emptying bottles into skips. Was put into a group of 2 other guys who were fucking lazy dickheads that never came in, making me do the extra work. Got lazy myself but no one noticed, until I decided to leave on my own accord.

Steve-O, sounds like you got a decent plan there and boy, you are a good saver of money. Are you more content that you are doing your own thing? Did you find work stressful? Love to live in the bush.....but do you get lonely?

Loup
Yes, no and no. With doing my own thing I can go anywhere I want, and when I go interstate I get my neighbours to watch my house and my family pay my bills (I pay 'em back). For the most part work didn't stress me, but near the end managemnet were trying to push our section out, and made it hard to stay. Given they were trying to close the central Melbourne section I was in, and force us out to the suburban offices (which was twice the travelling time) meant the redundancy was the only real option. Again, living on my own means I can do my own thing, but I have at least one friend in the area I can talk to, and my fiance visits me once a year, and that's where I go to when I go interstate.
You mentioned you are on the east coast - somewhere in QLD, I guess.

Like with most things, there is good parts and not so good parts. I am glad that you get to go interstate to see your fiance and other people. Timing is everything, is it not? I hated leaving my job and I was very bitter about it for a while, but when I look back, the timing was perfect. It meant that I could get the help I so badly needed and I was properly diagnosed with AS when I turned 36. It certainly explained a lot of things.
Yep, I am in QLD. Brisbane to be precise.

Been to Brisbane a couple of times, nice city. I'm staying in Townsville at the moment. Hot, but nice.

I've been on disability before and I only had five jobs. The first one was working at the folkshop and in the high school library. I didn't get very much and then my third job was working at a hotel collecting dirty linen and then folding linen and washing them. Then my 4th job was working at another hotel as a houseperson and then I worked daytime collecting dirty linen and newspapers and magazines and dirty cups and getting the trash. Now my 5th job is janitor stuff.
I have never hated any if my jobs but wanted more hours when I worked at the folkshop and I hated getting massive complaints from quests when I worked at my third job. They complained about my "rude" behavior and they expected me to be a mind reader and stuff because they wouldn't communicate with me. My mom just said I don't have a sign on me saying I have AS and can't tell personal space so you need to tell me. That's when she taught me about it and told me to stand at least an arm length away from everyone but that doesn't apply to a crowded elevator or bus or train.

I have the opposite problem. My personal space seems to be much larger than most other peoples. I get slightly uncomfortable if anyone comes into my personal space. And that seems to be about 2 arms lengths. I never stand close to people if I can help it. If someone tries to come any closer to me, I usually try and take a step backwards and folk often think I'm being rude.
-
damn. i didnt relise so many of us were on disability, shleed :zoinks:
i dont even remember why i first got refferd, i guess it was after i tried killing myself in my mid 20's though. after of wich all the doctors told me to get on

I have been on the DSP since 2005. That's when I quit my full-time job as a forklift driver and machine operator. I was just too unstable and had mental health issues. Since then I have worked at a bakery but the hours got too long and I had a couple of meltdowns there so I quit.
Now I am a student because I thought I either had to get another job or study something. I am in my second year studying psychology. It hasn't been easy, just got out of hospital again in July for mental health stuff. I get paid a bit extra for being a student.
-
The only job I ever had was one year ago when I was working a temporary summer job, as an intern for the tech dept of the board of ed. I have had complaints against my behavior, such as prowling through other peoples' stuff, making rude remarks, listening to music through my headphones when the supervisor was addressing everyone, etc. but that was before I even knew what autism really was.
I am trying to keep my SSI going. $675 a month, take away $500 for rent including utilities, $50 for Internet, and add $100 in foodstamps, that's basically my financial situation. After two semesters at the community college, I got put under financial aid suspension for not making good enough progress. I was really lazy and pretty much could only focus on things that were interesting to me, which were math and computers. Not to mention an accident during my first semester that left me unable to walk for several weeks didn't help with my attendance. I don't know what I am going to do.
-
I get disabled living allowance because of my AS, although it's not actually my AS that stops my getting a job. I hope one day I will be able to get a job, although it will probably be a shitty one lol
Right now though I am at university so a student. And I'm living at home so don't really need a job atm

In my innocence, $50 for Internet sounds high. We pay only $14.95 ATT special, goes up to $19.95 in January 2011. Also the Princess Royal and my sister are on SSI ($675) and they only qualified for less than $5 a month in Food Stamps, so we never bothered to get them.

Same here.
Never been able to hold down anything more than a part-time job when I could.
Physical issues, sensory crap, and the fact that I just can't seem to deal with people for extended periods of time without spazzing. :zombiefuck:

DSL is such a rip off, especially if you want some ACTUAL speed. I have the 3.0 Megabits per second (or 375 Kilobytes per second) ATT "SlowAccess" (get the joke?) Direct (to my ass) DSL. Even though my service quality is good, I feel like I could get a lot more out of 50 dollars. :wanker:
If I had to pay for my own utilities, I would definitely NOT get DSL. It took 2 weeks for mine to get set up and working correctly, talking almost endlessly to them damn India natives and sending strangers to my apartment to "fix" things. :LOL:
-
I only have to pay €20 a month for my internet, up to 7mbit and it's 3G so I can take it anywhere. :orly:
The only problem is that it can be slow at times (depending on coverage and amount of people using it in an area), so I may get an alternative connection when the contract runs out.
-
Okay, I guess DSL is ATT, but it's fast enough for us because we don't download any music, videos, etc. And it is definitely faster than my quill pen.

But I bet it still allows Princes Edward and Albert Victor to be able to view pics of Lily Langtry whenever they can, and to hear broadcasts of W.G Grace making centuries in the test matches.

True. I imagine Edward will one day have a keen interest in the Jersey Lily. What Alexandria will say I don't know.

Okay, this ones tough. When things seem to be stressing me out, I usually seem to just leave and take a little adventure(walkabout lol). I usually come back, but thats how i've always dealt. Drop everything and take a break. Thats why I think I wouldn't be a good dad.

theres nothing wrong with walking, its a highly underrated activity. are you a driver?
-
I can drive, but I have problems with road rage.
I don't just go for a walk tho. I'm gone from days, to weeks.
-
I don't have a driver's license nor a car. I have a few people who can help a little with transportation. The nearest bus stop is several blocks away, I'm a fatass, so I'm not that motivated to walk that far, especially when I have to dodge traffic, sometimes across four lane roads! :viking: Ever since I got hit by a car several months ago, I have been quite fearful about walking/taking the bus to where I want to go.
And I hate crosswalks at intersections, because you never know when some fucker will make the "right on red" turn, which is sadly LEGAL in some cases! It's much safer to jaywalk across the road in the midst of a block, because you only have to worry about traffic coming from 2 directions, rather than 3 or 4.

Is that it? Threaten ME, like you did les paul. I dare ya. :eyebrows:

I enjoy walking, but I have a travel pass for unlimited free bus, train and ferry travel. This applies to anywhere in the country, including N. Ireland.

In my neck of the woods there's a Mobility Impaired Transit System. It's basically a minibus that transports physically/mentally disabled people and an attendant, if needed, to and from the house within the county. It costs about $2 a trip, which isn't bad. Maybe there's something similar where you are.

Yeah, I went to hospital for a while but everything turned out ok, I got some good therapy and had my meds changed. GA and I still see each other, we went to the movies yesterday. He is doing a uni preparation course now and I am proud that he is getting through it well. Ever since I got hit by a car several months ago, I have been quite fearful about walking/taking the bus to where I want to go.
Geez, no wonder you are fearful of traffic. Were you injured?

Yes, I was injured. My left knee and ankle were fracture. I had to use crutches for several weeks until I could walk again. That really sucked.

Bloody hell, what a horrible experience that must have been!

Shit I'm slow to news, I'm sorry to hear that. :(
But it's good to hear you're alright though. :)
Yeah, I went to hospital for a while but everything turned out ok, I got some good therapy and had my meds changed. GA and I still see each other, we went to the movies yesterday. He is doing a uni preparation course now and I am proud that he is getting through it well. Ever since I got hit by a car several months ago, I have been quite fearful about walking/taking the bus to where I want to go.
Geez, no wonder you are fearful of traffic. Were you injured?
Yes, I was injured. My left knee and ankle were fracture. I had to use crutches for several weeks until I could walk again. That really sucked.
I'm sorry to hear that. I twisted my right ankle and sprained it badly over a year ago getting off a bus and I remember what a pain that was. I wound up having surgery on it last December to try to fix it because it didn't heal properly. How are your knee and ankle now?

I have been on the DSP since 2005. That's when I quit my full-time job as a forklift driver and machine operator. I was just too unstable and had mental health issues. Since then I have worked at a bakery but the hours got too long and I had a couple of meltdowns there so I quit.
Now I am a student because I thought I either had to get another job or study something. I am in my second year studying psychology. It hasn't been easy, just got out of hospital again in July for mental health stuff. I get paid a bit extra for being a student.

Shoot, I have been completely recovered for several months. The injury occurred in November of last year.

Well, I guess I'm more willing to get along if you don't post something stupid about me.

That's great you healed so quickly. I think it was a weird thing that it took me such a long time to recover from an ankle sprain, but it still hurts, unfortunately.

Don't start nothing, won't be nothing. You know this duke, quit acting.

Try being a bit more aware of your surroundings. Its part of being the man you want to be so badly.

FA - I think this is a nice olive branch. A little defensive, but nice. How are you doing this morning? Have you thought about taking a walk if it's cool enough?

Well, I thought about taking a walk, but I procrastinated as I usually did, now it's like 95 degress Fahrenheit... in Tennessee at September? Thanks, global warming! ::)
I still might take that walk because it's better to walk in the heat than it is in the cold. Might as well enjoy what might be the last shred of real summer heat for a while.

I hope you have some place interesting to walk. Is there a nudist colony nearby? Just joking.

Nah, it's just some sidewalks among the nearby streets, which has little to no traffic. And only one or two annoying (leashed) dogs barking at me. :green:
