i swear applying for jobs is a hell specifically designed to torture autistic people

• you're expected to lie a little bit, and being too honest is penalized

• you have to do interviews and wear uncomfy clothes while making eye contact with people

• in those interviews you're getting asked all these questions about yourself and you're supposed to know how to respond in just the right way to make yourself seem appealing

• you're supposed to say all these reasons how and why you're a good worker when most of the time you don't even understand anything about yourself or what you're expected to do

• you have to ask people to be references for you which is especially hell for people with anxiety

and then you're supposed understand all of this naturally even though nobody taught you anything about it
