Hello everyone looking for any advice feeling lost.
I have Aspergers syndrome and Dh has Autism.
Dh is the one that works have whatever 3dcs 2 with sn and he struggles to keep up with them. The problem is he keeps getting sacked because he can't think out of the box sees things black and white or just hasn't got enough social skills to do well. He's currently working outbound sales which he has done for last 2 years now each job has said the same about his skills bare his last one he only last that jue to the company shutting down he was doing so well there. He's been at his new job for a week and 2 days not had any training yet was just set straight to it but is being told if he doesn't get more sales in the next 2 days they are going to have to let him go which they can do what they want in the first month due to his contract.
He's getting so depressed at the constant knocks and is doing his very best. All he wants to do is earn a living for his family. He has tried to get warehouse jobs super market jobs and fast food jobs but they all keep saying he's other qualified. We have even took his qualifications off his cv but they still say the same because of his job history. What can I do to help him? I feel so helpless he just wants a proper chance.

I have no advice really but didn't want your post to go unanswered as I know how that feels.

I also know the feeling of watching my husband in a similar situation. It's horrible isn't it? Flowers

I hope someone comes along with advice. It might also be worth trying the employment section who could perhaps help on cvs etc??

Unfortunately he finds the responsibility of the children too much we have tried to switch roles.
I think it maybe the wrong type of job. He's looking for one in a different field now hopefully will get somewhere.

It is hard really hard to watch him he tries so hard.

Have you tried the National Autisic Society? There are some autism friendly employers - they might be able to give help/advice? Good luck, it seems impossible now but keep going you'll find a solution xx
