I said if they want to fire me fine, but it's not any demon. They kept arguing with me about it saying evil spirits were on me. His wife said that my behavior is very abnormal compared to other people she hires. I act different because I have Autism though. Different than NT people that might work there. I got upset and started crying. Then they said they were going to rid me of the spirits so I left right away and called my friend to get me away from that place.
They also asked me to name my medications on the job application. I do not think this is legal is it? My friend and I sent a complaint to the civil rights place but what else can I do since it's wrong?
Also when they were questioning me they asked if I act this way because I'm on drugs, and I said NO, do a drug test. But they kept asking me.

Those people you work for are wierdos, no more than you are. (No offense, I am an aspergian too.) I think the best thing for you to do, if you need a job, is to go somewhere else for employment. But if you have the time and resources available, your situation would be a good test case on a few issues: religious, disabilties, and fair employment practices. Sad to say, but the probability of progressing on a legal case depends on where you live (what judges might be favorably inclined, what attorneys might take your case.) In any case it is up to you and you alone whether you decide to fight or just let it go and move on to another employer. I wish you the best, and I hope you will keep us updated.
