I have a bachelor's degree in social science and I'm in my late 20s, but I've been unemployed for almost 2 years now. I've applied to hundreds of jobs, but I've only managed to secure about 5 interviews, and unfortunately, I didn't get any of those positions. I've been reflecting on whether my autism might be affecting my job search. I know my voice tends to be monotone, and I've been told that I don't show much expression on my face, which might make me come off as less engaging or upbeat during interviews. I even applied to be an ABA therapist, but after disclosing my autism, I was denied the position, which has left me feeling uncertain about my next steps. I'm not sure what to do from here, and I'm starting to wonder if my autism is a barrier to finding a job.
Job title: ABA therapist
