Why

Hang in there. We are stronger than we think.

Thanks. I feel like if i don't have any use in the world i might as well die early though.

My mom has a lot of people who rely on her, so she should live long and healthy life.

I don't have any use in life and i dont want to burden anyone in life.

Lots of people here like you, read your posts, get inspired. It is easy to slip into despair when bad things threaten. I’ve done it myself, many times.

Thanks. I am very surprised people like me since i am used to being ignored and discriminated. I just wish there were actual offline social clubs for autistic people here too. Because i fear i will have no one to rely one when i need help in old age

I’m surprised too when I learn people like me, on the forum or IRL. That’s why it’s important you just keep being you. We have an impaired understanding of these things. We don’t know, we miss the cues.

I’m also aware I have no one locally who would help for any kind of long term help. I have been making an effort to stay in touch with people in my life, even when it’s inconvenient, so I have some kind of network.

I think I am almost 72 years old. I’ve had more time to make these contacts. I don’t call them friends because I’m pretty confused myself what that really means.

You are very kind, thank you for your understanding response. I feel much better now than a week ago
