    I'm so stumped

    Hey, peeps. I apologize for being distant. I feel personally like I was blaming autism for all my problems and I ensconced myself in my own little echo chamber for a long time. That is why I was away. I have read stuff on this site that was the smartest stuff I've ever read. I need advice, I...

    Update

    what? Take it to court, seriously never thought of that. Drugging children is so widespread now, I doubt I'd win a big cash settlement. Maybe in the 90's but it's given to small kids now, not even teens. Little zombies walking around. Take care man.

    Update

    Fortunately I've had very positive interactions with lots of people over the years so I'm not antisocial, I just tactfully interact like anyone else would. It's just, my surroundings and circumstances get worse and worse. If I could, I would buy all my stuff on amazon instead of going to stores...

    Update

    when I was 15 years old I was put on antipsychotic drugs. I wasn't psychotic. It ruined my life. It kills your intelligence. I figured out how to turn my brain back on about a month ago but now it's too late and it's the end of humankind and my entire life was wasted walking around brain dead...

    So Much Difficulty With Normal Functioning Due to Rigidity, Inflexibility, Etc.

    You sound like an interesting person to me. I have lots of rigidity in my behavior, and so do most people, for that matter. Not like you or I do, but I wouldn't get down on yourself about anything. The world is effe'd, people are effe'd. Accept yourself, and don't compare yourself to others and...

    So Much Difficulty With Normal Functioning Due to Rigidity, Inflexibility, Etc.

    Hmm, this is interesting info. I personally believe it was the psychiatric drugs they put me on my whole life that made me this way...None of those drugs are good for your mind. Ya know, it's interesting you say that autistic people are better at certain things. Don't all people have interests...

    So Much Difficulty With Normal Functioning Due to Rigidity, Inflexibility, Etc.

    So, Is autism the reason I have less "working" memory than others like, say, a bartender, that has to remember literally 50 beers that 50 different people ordered and nails every one? I could NEVER do that, but I could remember something better than that person if I studied the material...

    Need to Vent to My People

    You are right. I have no honed skills anymore and tons of PTSD to boot from all the trauma I've endured over the last decade.

    Need to Vent to My People

    Oh, jesus. I knew people in similar situations to you. I was just frustrated because certain people compare what they went through, which was pillowy soft bc of their degree or their upbringing, and I grew up having to fight kids twice my size when I was 9. You sound cool, though, from the rest...

    Need to Vent to My People

    Hey Martha! My people are from New York, as well. I'm decently smart, I just cant figure out where to start in my quest for a career and independence. If I had the family business or a career path I would be a great asset to any company but I don't have anything. No college, no golden...

    Need to Vent to My People

    Okay, but you are nearly three decades older than me. When you were my age, you coulda worked in a factory or something and raised 5 kids and went to whatever school you wanted to; etc. Times have changed. I did NOT have that same chance you did at success or the same experience you had AT ALL...

    Need to Vent to My People

    I need to figure out how to do exactly this. My current scene is getting old for sure.

    Back for a while - Maybe

    I'm glad this site exists. People can come and post things that wouldn't fly on other sites. The amazing thing is, someone will pop up and address them minutes later. Its like self help, in a way. I also didn't post for a couple years.
