Heather Cook🖖Autistic Coach

When you’re figuring out what to do for work, I would suggest picking something that has the potential to continue igniting your curiosity and your interest for a long period of time.

It might not be the thing that you are most passionate about in the world, but something that has enough depth and enough facets that will keep you interested for a long time so that you don’t feel trapped just doing the one thing, over and over and over.

@hmm_cook exactly, I had that, and now it's being destroyed by people using AI instead of a human translator and I'm stuck.

@hmm_cook i did and unfortunately it’s an industry full of narcisssistic assholes

@filmfreak75 @hmm_cook This sounds like Tech. But I am at risk of projecting.

@elight @hmm_cook i’ve heard this happening in tech, but my personal hell has been in law for the past 20 years

@filmfreak75 @hmm_cook Seems to follow: highly skilled white collar work seems to cultivate this sort of person.

@filmfreak75 @hmm_cook Also, I'm sorry. It's terrible to live with and to recognize this. Been unemployed for some time now because I fled these cultures and haven't been able to figure out my next steps. I can't go back; there's too much harm in it.

@elight @hmm_cook for sure … it’s a lot of “how dare you know something i don’t”

perceived of as insubordinate and not just being a well rounded employee

@filmfreak75 @hmm_cook Perhaps as a threat? Because insecurity?

@elight @hmm_cook power and control issues are very common with narcissists especially when dealing with #actuallyautistic people

it’s all about putting us in our place as they see it

I can't get away from that it's the same disparity, that NT to Autist is as narcissist to NT.

New thought: so narc to Autist is a double dose
