Hi disabled community! I’m so sorry the megathread is late this week. I hope everyone’s new year is going well so far!
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
If it’s any consolation, the STEM job market is brutal too. I graduated 8 years ago and it took me almost 7 years to land a programming job that I was fired from a year later. The whole market is trash. At this point, imo college was a huge waste of time and money.
You probably got the ASD + depression combo. I feel this a lot.
