I have been allowed in many workplaces, probably on an account of how much of a misdiagnosis I was given though.
I'm one of those rare examples where my autism is less obvious off the net.

You've been fired from many jobs you mean, clearly you're unsuitable for the workplace if this is the case.

To have been fired, I would've needed to be hired. That I can sway the charms of employers long enough to stay in the workplace, in one of my posts for nearly several decades, I must have some functional leverage over other autists at the very least.
That being said, I don't harbour real expectations for autists generally speaking. You'd be mistaken if you think I'm A-Logging in their defense.

He was most likely fired due to his obvious drug problem, not the fact that he also has autism.

So do you think it the meth or the autism that made him throw a wrench at a black guy?

In other words you're unemployed.

Where did I say this? It actually argues that I have been employed previously, not my current employment status. Ignoratio elenchi.

You've been spewing this line since /cwc/-era 789. Piss off.

Actually that was me. And you know he's right.

> unemployed and unemployable

@313,432 (E)
Well I wouldn't be surprised if he could find a job doing unskilled/menial labor... it just wouldn't last for very long due to 'tism and meth.

That's still libel without proof; it's not even true.

What is he meant to be right about? He hasn't demonstrated any truths to me.

Here are some truths:

Negative short-term effects of meth abuse can include disturbed sleep patterns, hyperactivity, nausea, delusions of power, increased aggressiveness and irritability. Can cause decreased hunger and bring on weight loss. In higher doses has a greater “rush,” followed by increased agitation and sometimes violence. Other effects can include insomnia, confusion, hallucinations, anxiety and paranoia. Can cause convulsions leading to death.

Negative long-term effects of meth abuse include increased heart rate and blood pressure, damage to blood vessels in the brain, leading to strokes or irregular heart beat and cardiovascular (involving the heart and blood vessels) collapse or death. Can cause liver, kidney and lung damage. Users may suffer brain damage, including memory impairment and an increasing inability to grasp abstract thoughts. Those who recover are usually subject to memory gaps and extreme mood swings.

“Crystal meth was my drug of choice, but there were others too-cheap, easy to get, easy to become addicted to and, of course, easy to use. I tried it once and BOOM! I was addicted. One of the main things that this affected was my music career. I had a great band and played great music and had great members who weren’t only band members but best friends. That all changed when I started using meth.” -Brad, ex-addict
