It's probably the reason why I won't look for a job - I can't stand the idea of having to deal with so many people to get to the 20% who are on my wavelength. If I knew that I'd have to do that when I was younger it'd be fine and I would have been able to get used to it but I'm getting on a bit and ...

If National Service was applied in an employment context instead of military it would work better. Very simple - give people a basic sense of duty and responsibility, give them basic skills such as being able to grow food and maintain basic infrastructure. Throw in a sprinkling of "noblesse obl...

I have this problem as well, last paid job ended early 2018, had a brief period of employment from late 2021 until earlier this year, been doing vague amounts of volunteering ever since. Feel like it boils down to the uncertainty - needing more time to prepare, don't like applying in the morning and...

I would say I've never had any "friends" per se. Only had two people the same age as myself that I was close with. I used to see one regularly outside of school, admittedly I used him because he had video games and I didn't until I left school. Haven't spoken to him for years and I wouldn'...

Stigmatisation of autism (being born during a time when it wasn't generally understood by the public) My dad (mother thinks he definitely has some form of dyslexia, possibly might even be autistic himself) My sister bullying and teasing me when I was younger A bad education system (bad befor...

Abrupt first post, apologies for sounding like a moaning minnie. Have had a porn addiction since I left school. The idea of it being an "addiction" didn't exist back then. Used it alongside masturbation as a coping mechanism and for stress relief. Big mistake. I didn't accept my autism unt...
