I have a culinary degree , years of photography experience , and a vast knowledge of several things .. and still stress about all the things that I cannot do . Thank you man Much love from NYC 💙

[@hisen3.146]

This man's CV is more packed than a shopping centre. Dude... You just can't stop listing everything you've done XD!

Hi Sen3.14 haha

I'm currently a fulltime caregiver for my grandmother and I'm studying to be a registered behavioral technician

[@caitlovesasmr]

Good luck to you, sir 🤎

[@cynnamonroll666]

So would you say self-employment may be the best option? I’m a female with Aspergers and I cannot stand being around a lot of people and going to a job that doesn’t fit my special interests. I mean, I have the physical ability to do so, but not without destroying my mental health in the process. I have to mask every single day and it’s destroying me.

[@junidelgadocolon-elchicogamer]

My first job was easy to handle it but i lost it for others reason, i started to give up trying to find a new job because of i am the problem now with my aspergers situation.

[@bakerfritz4681]

I think, if you can create your own business, that’s the way to go. I’ve had more than 27 full and part-time jobs in as many years, often overlapping, for similar reasons to the one you mentioned, which is that eventually (and it takes less time every time) the mental effort it takes to do the work becomes unmanageable.

[@turtleanton6539]

Yes. If u can make a living

[@zackeudy6236]

Thanks Dan. My job called me back to work as a machinist to make parts and tools. I have a degree in the trades. I get to work alone so I can focus. Proud from northeast Arkansas.

[@zackeudy6236]

Thanks to all the new subs. Thank you Dan for making it better for us asd superheroes

[@vickyandaxel]

You're very inspiring. I share your videos with my 15-year-old daughter who was just diagnosed with ASD Level 1 in Aug. 2019. She's science and math-minded but is also an incredible graphic artist. I hope that she gains confidence by seeing how you turned all of your interests and hyper-focus into success and fulfillment.

When I had these episodes at work - in the toilets, I was eventually diagnose with Panic Disorder. This was many years ago. At 27 I was diagnosed with ADHD and at 28 I realised I was autistic. I had to figure those out myself after going through multiple therapists and mental health practitioners. I still work full time and it is a mental struggle every single day. I am working towards being my own boss but I still have lots of responsibilities and am buying a house very soon. It's a struggle to work full time and try to be your own boss part time. My advice for anyone would be to take it slow and it will grow over time.

[@milkshakeflake]

I used to do the same and not understand why I was decompressing in the toilets at work everyday... I oddly told the boss I don't come in on Fridays and if he don't like it then fire me...

[@FindingYourSerenity]

@@milkshakeflake That is brave!

[@MatthewKrekeAuthor]

I graduated from college for computer programming and have applied everywhere nearby, only had 2 interviews in my life and been rejected every time. It's been 5 years.

[@matthewsnowdon8530]

One day ill be in the 16% of people who are employed but that day feels like if will never come

[@AspieAnswers]

Dan, you're an amazing young man and that yes you've made a lot of great achievements in you're life. Thanks for doing what you do as well as sharing some tips and advice on various topics that we need to tackle head on and being able to do what we can do. Thanks for the way you're removing the stigma and more of this. U hope that sometime soon that I'll be able to achieve everything that l have got in mind as just finding it difficult with others around me and all especially the ones that still don't understand me as an adult autistic. Yes, we need to change our ideas and perspectives. I've heard about some people been told that autistics can be cured etc yet I hope that someday there'll be the right people trained in the future to help autistics and other children with learning disabilities to not fall behind or as they say "fall in the cracks" good getting to know you and others how you and them live their lives. 🦋🦋🦋

[@AutistenPartei]

We are here! :)

[@MartKart8]

I remember once when The Wright Stuff was on Channel 5, Matthew Wright was talking about Autism and employability, and why so many Autistic people can't get jobs, he was shocked how most employers, as soon as they find out the person has Autism, they will stop the interview and not want to see them again.

[@yourfavoritenetcitizen6525]

That is abuse and discrimination. I hope things change, and luckily they are starting to a bit.

[@turtleanton6539]

It is true

[@rybolov]

Hi Dan. Anybody autistic should try STEM careers. I'm an IT security specialist and not only do 90% of us have at least a touch of autism, I think you *need* autism in order to understand the subject. We have many jobs where you can make tons of money with minimal human interaction. Look at SOC analysts, programmers, penetration testers, cryptographers, etc. Some of us even work from home full-time. A lot of times your CV is the programs that you build and put on Github. You should form a .org to teach autistic kids to program.

[@turtleanton6539]

Interesting 😊

[@ryansvlogsandvideos953]

Awesome video dude my bro 💪😊👊👍

[@MirandaPurpleClouds]

Soo, time to figure out what I'm good at.

[@milkshakeflake]

Hi I'm 33. I've only just realised I have autism and I've not had a typical job for over ten years. I'm not lazy as I love to run my own small business, I just do well in the work environment....

YES

[@MelissaTheButterfly]

I know in Some of your videos you talk about San Francisco, about 2 or 3 years ago I had a dream that I was lost there and walked home. Lol I have steang dreams sometimes, but Maybe San Francisco is where I need to visit next... it sounds like a Beautiful place. It's like 5 hours away by car🚘💓🏄‍♀️

[@rybolov]

It's fun to visit but has since serious problems. Lots of homeless people pooping in the streets. But if you stay in the touristy areas, it's cool.

[@yourfavoritenetcitizen6525]

Tons of homeless there.

[@craigmason]

Nice idea dan but I am sure that many autistic people were placed in "Special Needs" and left school with no qualifications. I am currently doing a computer course and a maths course level 1 to make myself employable but its hard work.

[@starolivio6895]

What could someone do while in school to have special qualifications? My son could be on the lower end of the spectrum or just have spd but I'm trying to learn as much as I can, and gather info for further future references

[@rhian2033]

So the fabled glass question. What's the context of the glass? Is it physical, theoretical or mythical? It really depends on how you're posing the question. Most times I hear it I answer " the glass is the wrong size" However if it's relating to the acquisition of knowledge I'll answer "my glass will always have room for more".... Hi I'm Rhian and I am 39 - I've just been diagnosed with ASD. Yay I'm difficult...

[@cattheveganartist]

The echoing sound, and the food (?) rustling near the end are very very distracting, and make it hard to focus on an otherwise fantastic talk.

[@maxpower7347]

Look at me I wrote first comment!

[@turtleanton6539]

Good😊

[@garyfrancis5015]

I do disagree with the minecraft. I play mindcraft I feel 2 hours or 3 hours at most a day. Because of autism and addiction to video games. Is a way of escaping into another world. I feel now I was addicted to video games as a kid. And video games are designed to be addicted. So their is a line between video games affecting the functioning of people lives.

[@Rina_Redfield]

Vanilla Minecraft, being a sandbox game, is far more like playing with Legos, Knex, programming, or robotics than it is like Call of Duty or even Legend of Zelda. Obviously pvp gamemodes are going to have the downsides that come from pvp games, but a sandbox is a sandbox, whether digital or physical... and minecraft Java is much cheaper and physically safer than a good lego playset or an actual sandbox (no risk of stepping on legos and significantly less risk of the kid getting kidnapped)

[@turtleanton6539]

Yes😊

I m looking for a job for one of my autism student,do u provide employment for them??

[@robertf6523]

Dan I have no idea how you walked around in the blast of the projector... That drives me crazy (when I happen to be in front of the projector myself lol)

[@turtleanton6539]

Lol

[@Rina_Redfield]

the echo that picked up by 14:55 as well as losing the front face view from time to time is making it hard to understand. It might help to put in accurate captions, the auto-generated is getting the gist of what you said but... it's just an algorithm after all.

[@freedomfighter2668]

What do you think about the spark sort "Float" on disney plus?

[@rhian2033]

Ahhhh I'm not handling the Echo from the PA system **Tip listing with just the right hand channel
