Failing at being a human
Hello all, I do a low-skill tech job but due to the shite job market right now I thought I’d try teaching (since I relate better to kids anyway) so I started a teaching course. My grades are pretty good but unfortunately I’m failing my placement because of *insert all the things which make autistics autistic*.
It sucks because I quite enjoy interacting with kids. Some of them even trust me more than their normal teacher because I’m nice and I actually (try to) help them when they need help instead of yelling all the time. One student was in tears the other day because she didn’t finish her work and was scared she would be yelled at. Quite frankly I was in tears on the entire commute home today even though I managed to hold it in all afternoon.
I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. So many people in my team (in my normal job) are losing their job due to cost cutting and I could be next. And at this rate I won’t even have a backup plan because I’m “too autistic”. What am I supposed to do?
