I need to express myself, & I want to...

    I'm so tired of wanting to belong. I have never fit in with any social group. Not even my family.

    When I was a kid, during the holidays I would go around with a tape recorder & record family members' conversations, jokes, songs, etc. The rest of the year I would play these tapes all alone in my room, pacing around (apparently a lifelong stim) & fantasizing that I was interacting with them in...

    Aspie work or live of welfare (anonymous survey)

    I've been living off of SSI since I was a teenager. I tried to work at a few jobs I got through a vocational/rehabilitation program, but I never lasted long, usually one or two weeks. I was never able to handle the stress of a regular job.

    I have a gazillion things in my head that I need to say, but when it's time to speak my mind goes blank & I'm at a loss for words.

    I don't know what to say, & I don't know how to say it, & I'm afraid to say anything at all. I just hope I don't screw up too bad.

    Hi, there!

    Well, I am actually feeling rather shy, even scared, to be joining your forum. I am self-diagnosed, & I realized I was autistic about a year ago, by reading autistic people's own personal stories. My therapist, who I've been seeing for a long time, agrees with me & says that autism is the best...
