| First off Wrong Planet has been a great help me and it has been a good experience. I have met some very good people here but it's time for me to shift my focus to things closer to home. However I have closed my memberships to other message boards and Facebook. I want to keep myself busy away from th... |

| Thanks. I have a lot of support from support workers, various teams, and my mum is my carer. I don't think I'll get a job beyond supported employment. I just want to do something with my life. I'm really smart. Don't want to see it wasted. Not much of a choice though. I wish you all the best are yo... |

| I have to be honest and share a bit of my experience. I got an adult diagnosis for ASD a few years ago and I was told I was on the Aspergers part of the spectrum. I have only ever worked manual jobs and from 17 until I was 23 was fired over and over again. For 23 until 37 I worked in the one job but... |

The youngest in my family and I can't form relationships so an early check out will not worry me.
People on this thread need to relax a bit nobody knows how long they are going to live.
If I get rub over by a bus for exampled oes that still count as an early autism death.  |
