I’ve been like this ever since I quit school.

      The isolated part potentially is.

      Every day the desire to say “fuck it”, sell everything, and then go live in the woods grows.

      Yeah, I’m working on getting out of this, but it’s hard. So many years of living in isolation and not talking doesn’t make it any easier

    Every post I see on here… Kind of makes me wonder if I might be a little autistic

      This is why autism is so hard to define and why objective information about it is so hard to find.

      groups like “autism speaks” are full of bullshitters that constantly talk about how horrible autism is and how it destroys families.

      Narcissism destroys families, not autism.

      Wanna know something else that pisses me off? Most autism specialists don’t listen. They’ll sit there looking at you talk, but they’ll only take in about 10% of what you say and then they’ll respond to something you never said.

    You’re setting yourself up for an extremely sad life if you are content with being isolated and “weird.” It might be fun right now for a few months where you take time for yourself and go home and take home fast food and watch Netflix, but that expires very fast. You don’t want to be a creepy, aloof 80 year old man who everyone assumes is a virgin. My sister was diagnosed with autism and used to be a creepy male virgin and she can’t stand people like that.
