    Autism Life Coach ?

    My situation is a little complicated. All throughout my life I have had a history of being unable to keep a job, and this has spiraled out of control to the point that I am unable to even get a job anymore. I have been looking for a little over a year now, and I have had many disheartening...

    Forced to Socialize

    Its not like I must go necessarily, but if I tried to argue against it there would be a whole argument with my parents, and I don't want that, that might even be worse than just going anyways.

    Forced to Socialize

    To make a long story short, my family is going to see some family friends tomorrow, and I basically have to come, even though I am 22 and should be able to make decisions for myself. If any of you guys have social anxiety or have been forced to socialize, how did you deal with the scenario ...

    Wow that seems like a lot. It seems too much to be actually practical, with the way my finances are going currently by the time it even takes me to get approved (if I even do) I will probably be broke by then. So unfortunate :(

    Yeah I would love to get an attorney to help me out, except I can't afford it, and I don't like interacting with people anyways
