    The Underemployment and Unemployment Thread

    I've got an interview as an Automotive Engineer lined up! Perfect coincidence of Autistic Anger and Aspergian Obsession, I just used "listentoyoutube" to download 4-5 hours of review material and job interview tips which I'm going to brainwash myself with while re-painting all the whites around...

    Trouble dealing with finding out I'm Autistic

    Well first of all it depends on where it falls in the spectrum, and what symptoms of autism are strong and weak. For example I can type really well and write my thoughts. But I'm uncoordinated and don't do well with long-term thinking. None of that means I can use it as a crutch, if I can...

    Trouble dealing with finding out I'm Autistic

    Music choice: Recently found the section in my local library on Autism (23/m). Turns out I have it. Always wondered if I had depression, diabetes, Low T, PTSD, Anxiety, etc. Essentially trying to find out "WTF is wrong with me? Why can't I be like the other kids??" Well, ask the same...

    Structure Journal - For Simplicity's Sake

    Well I've got mail/paperwork, 4 hrs a week. Unemployed with benefits so need 3 hrs a week at the DOL. Exercise - I like to ride my bike, do pushups and pull-ups Guitar - I want to get a headphone-set for my amp on my electrical guitar, then I could practice with full sound-isolation, and...

    Structure Journal - For Simplicity's Sake

    Thanks in advance. Hi guys, is it okay if I start a day-to-day journal here for my progress in re-establishing a structured life? Recently I discovered I have been Autistic my whole life. I'm 23 now. Pre-diagnosis life makes a lot more sense now. Some Aspie traits, like obsession, but other...

    Dark Night of the Soul

    Have recently come to realize I've been Autistic my whole life with no intervention. As in, 8-15-2013. Have had habits of food-binge, m********ion and m*******ana that I am ashamed and confused about. Brought myself to rock bottom being a chronic quitter, isolating, and addiction, then one day I...

    Situation Suicide

    I've done this too OP. Things would suddenly be way over-my-head and I couldn't explain it looking back but I'd have long term meltdowns. Lost a job paying 1400 per week that was going to make me a full time employee. That was before I knew I have Autism. Just thought it was my divine intuition...

    men are now obsolete (yes i'm male)

    I think your signature is a bit disturbing. That is off-topic squared, though. Agree with your main point. Got a Degree in Electrical Engineering which is where my Dad sent me to go, so I have a skill that's well rooted in the future. However you're right there isn't really a draft and if there...

    Religion Thread

    Goodness! I couldn't read all the posts in one go before replying! I hope I don't speak out of turn. My favorite religion is Rastafarianism. Seems so peaceful. One of my last-ditch efforts to try and learn to be human was to go to AA meetings. I didn't get a DIWI, or even really drink, but...

    For Simplicity's Sake, 1

    Pop-Tarts, Peanut Butter and finally relaxed... It's 9PM and it's going down in my room. Can only leave here at SET TIMES. Think about it this way - when I'm in my room, in my headphones, I'm in full control. Can change the music and auditory settings any time, and just listen to my thoughts...

    The Underemployment and Unemployment Thread

    Ended this way at last 3 jobs, 2 full-time and 1 part-time. Pressure and confusion built up too fast. First full time, they "let me go" because I was just misfitting. Second full-time, had mental breakdowns... Was making $1400 a week! Third job was part time, waiting tables, and the social was...

    What are your current obsessions?

    Got pretty obsessed with meditation and Youtube spiritual teachers for a while. Thought I was a hermit, or a prophet, until i learned I am just neurologically a-typical and there are a lot of other people like me. In HS and College I was really into bodybuilding. Before that, I was really...

    Um... Hello.

    Hi Perry, I am 23, self-diagnosed on the Spectrum :) One thing that helped me a lot growing up was having my own laptop. Until I came to understand my condition, I thought my frequent laptop use (forums, word processors and microsoft excel) was what got me to be the way I am. Now that I know...
