Personally, as autistic woman myself who is also employed, struggled a lot this past year and at some aspects I am still struggling, which led me to be curious on how exactly autism affects work performance and work motivation. Autistic adults are least researched group in autistic research filed, especially the ones from Asia, Africa, Hispanic countries. I would whole heartly appreciate your participation in my study.

I'm 21 (22 this year) and I'm already feeling exhausted mentally by adulthood. I don't know, I feel overstimulated and misunderstood by most people my age. Other than that, I feel so alienated most of the time. It just sucks when people make me feel different, intentionally or unintentionally. After I turned 18,everything changed about myself, so did people around me. I sometimes feel like I act too immature and childish, so I try to act "normal" but acting normal doesn't make me feel any better it just makes me feel different again and I'm sick of this feeling. I hate that I'm different than most people, this feeling is not "special" it's just haunting. No matter how much I try to mask or change my symptoms they will always be with me forever and this is the most hardest fact. I even felt left out by some autistic people as well that's why I feel more hurtful. I'm tired
