First off that kind of clinging behavior makes others PUSH YOU AWAY. I am sour you have seen them do that to you before it just NEVER got this bad before to require such severe action against you.

Friendships dont happen between boss & employee no matter How bad YOU WANT to be friends. Work places have a heirarchy which is professionalism. There is always a wall when it comes to management relations otherwise favoritism issues come up & thst makes for a very unprofessional environment to work in.

As for hoping to be shoen the ropes, managers have to see POTENTIAL in your BEHAVIOR, ATTITUTES, & mostly ABILITIES before they are ever willing to groom anyone gor a management position. Just because YOU WANT to be in management doesnt mean you have the ability to perform all the things required by mamagement most of which is having people skills to deal with the employees. You have serious problems with the skills needed to interface with people & to communicate with them & to even SEE a problem & know it needs to be fixed.

Shoot, you seem to seriously have problems understanding people here JUST BECAUSE it's NOT the way you think. That would be a serious problem in a management position.

You have a lot to work on before you would ever be qualified to be shown any ropes. Let them come to you when THEY SEE you are ready, not when you want or THINK in your ASD thinking that you are ready. Just because you think something doesnt make it so in reality. A hard lesson we all have to learn, just a little more difficult when ASD is involved.

You will find a place that fits your abiluties & learning these difficult lessons along the way will help
