So, this is where I am. I'm 30 years old, make about 20K per year at my current job, suffer from ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder--a more of less invisible disorder which makes communicating with people really difficult), and have two degrees, both in Education, one is for teaching high school English, and the other is for teaching English as a Second Language. I'm almost ready to call it quits on the teaching job search and to give notice at the job I have right now. I know it's not a smart move, but I don't want to get fired. My boss has had to write me up several times for mistakes that I "shouldn't have made." For example, I took Thursday off as a sick day to finish recovering from a cold and to take a break from stress by changing my routine a bit. Well, that was okay. I called in and followed the procedure, but the person who subbed for me found serious violations in my classroom. I had left my computer unlocked and the students could get to it and do whatever they wanted, for one thing. Now, it never occurred to me that leaving my computer unlocked was an issue, and my boss had to spell out to me what could have happened! That's an example of what poor reasoning skills I sometimes have. To be honest, I'm surprised my employer has allowed me to work this long, but I would like to find something that I'm good at instead of living in fear of losing my day job.
