With Aspergers, your thought process & learning process is different. It will take LOTS of work with your caseworker & therapist to get your past way of thinking out of your thoughts & behavior & to learn socially acceptable behaviors to replace it with.

The one goodbthing about losing your job is that will stick in your mind associated with your negative behavior & hopefully with the help of your caseworker you will be able to learn some techniques that will help you listen to others better when they tell you to "STOP DOING".....whatever it is you are doing that is unacceptable & this applies to many other things in your life than just looking up to someone. It is very easy with Aspergers to let your thinking overshadow ANYTHING anyone else tells you sometimes because it's difficult for someone with Aspergers to correlate or even understand what they have been told how it relates to their behavior & without someone there constantly telling or reminding, what has been told gets totally lost.

I understand how difficult it can be, but as you have seen, it is very important if you want to have some what of an independent future. It takes a lot of work & concentration & focus on your behaviors & thinking because it doesn't come naturally for you to manage your strong feelings.

Did your parents ever try to teach you when your behaviors were unacceptable or did they just let you behave any way you wanted?
