What the fuck do I do, lads? I don't want to be a neet forever, but I'm too socially retarded to pass a job interview. I have never had a non-volunteer job.

I was diagnosed with aspergers when I six. If you can speak English and have heartbeat you can find a job albeit the shit ones that make you question why you havent killed yourself every night but its possible. All I do in interviews is think of it like an RPG dialogue wheel you just have to say what you think people want to hear. Ive even had people call me a professional interviewer the only trick you have to know is just tell people what they want to hear, thats it. Doesnt matter if its complete bullshit

that's exactly what I'm bad at. I especially can't fake excitement or enthusiasm, which is the biggest thing employers look for. People see right through any front I put up and quickly discern what I'm actually thinking or feeling.

Why the fuck would they even go into college anyway? Were they really that brain-dead that they didn't consider this is what was probably going to happen because they've got a mental illness like autism?

Many places won't accept you for a job unless you at least have a college degree.
The reason many jobs require a college degree, and don't necessarily care which subject you earned it in, is that having a college degree proves you can stick to something, through difficulties and setbacks, for multiple years until you accomplish your goal.

>tfw know an autistic girl with a masters degree, and she works as a high-class escort now
>tfw she's successful as fuck, and genuinely loves her job
It's been a confusing feel (and boner) for as long as I've known her.

Tech/programming jobs have been over-saturated for over a decade now.

>I especially can't fake excitement or enthusiasm
If you can't fake enthusiasm, why not apply for a job that you're enthusiastic about?

so that is why there are 12 job openings per IT person?

It depends how much you get paid desu, it's not like any other emplyoment isn't doing the exact same thing
Camden Peterson
Most of her clients are businessmen on trips, rich dads whose wives have stopped putting out, Chads trying to get over a breakup, shy college kids with a trust fund, tough guys who someone to talk to and listen to them (even if no sex is involved) but are afraid of the social stigma around getting a therapist, and she's also noticed a small increase of weeb and cosplay girls who are confused about their sexuality. She often expresses how normal her clients tend to be. They tend to be just people who have emotional needs that they're not getting anywhere else.
She makes at least $15,000/mo. doing this.

i have failed every interview i got , even for sending mail around.

Underrated insult right here

I knew you was on the spectrum when you individually spoilered each subject

Sounds like I'll probably stay unemployed forever. And in my country we don't have "autism bucks" either so I'll just remain really poor forever. Should probably kill myself before I end up suffering too much.
Not them but I don't have enthusiasm for anything. And the jobs that sound somewhat interesting, I have no qualifications for, and they aren't publicly announced anyway, you need connections.

its because they get 1k applicants even when the requirement is a degree
its filtering and part of a fundamentally broken approach to education
