Why the fuck did I want until 30 to do this? I was a shutin hermit NEET from age 17, I could of had all these benefits for the last 10 years! Fuck!
Where do you live that you get $1800 a month for being disabled? I barely get $1000 here
Australia original comment pleas
Jealous. The system in America is so fucking broken and bad. I'm happy you can get the support you need, though.
Yeah it is good. I live with my parents swell. If I rented a share house or something I would get even more money, like an extra $200-250 every 2 weeka
900 a fortnight is pretty good. What's your disability?
>Living in the third richest country in the world (by average salary) and being happy with 23k a year
Goddamn op
The US gives you 750 USD.
>tfw average rent is a thousand
>they won't let you get on disability regardless
Because I got brain broke before before I could work enough, the most I can get out of the US government + my state's government adds up to about $1000 a month in cash, $200 in food stamps, and then medicaid because I'm lucky to live in a blue state. The average wait time to get on disability/social security is literally 2 years.

I'm an ausfag too looking to get neetbux. What disability do you have?
Right. SSI gives me that $750 and then my state has a cash assistance program that's another $250.
well my disabiliy is being too retarded to read the above posts
How does that make you feel that society thinks you are helpless?
How do I get on autismbux here in the states?
My mom got disability for bipolar disorder once. I'm sure I can get it for depression/social anxiety.
Schizoid PD
But you dont get it based on what you have, you get bux based on your functional ability to get a job. What you have is just a loose guide.
My psychiatrist and clinical psychologist agree with the Schizoid diagnosis but they even say so little is known about it that they cant do anything for me besides autismbux me.
You want to hook up with your local DSHS/HHS. What state do you live in? I can point you in the right direction.
holy shit you get double of what I get in bongland,125 quid a week here.
:(
Nothing new to me. I know I cant function in the normalfag world. If I could I wouldnt have been a shut in NEET from age 16 to 30+. Do you think a normal functioning person does that to themselves? That cant even be explained by laziness. Laziness is only an excuse if you are still being a normie in all aspects of life, but just working because you cant be fucked
My parents house, so my permanent address, is in Texas, but I go to college in Oklahoma for about 10 months out of the year.
You get double what I make with my part time job.
Oof, blood red states. So you probably won't get a social worker assigned to you specifically to help you do the disability application stuff like where I live, so you're gonna have to be a bit on your own for a while. You're wanna start with the application directly through the SSA's website.
ssa.gov
Depending on how old you are + how much you've worked, you might qualify for SSDI, but you're more than likely only qualified for SSI.
Have a really solid paper trail and doctors willing to vouch for you, or you're fucked.. It fucking sucks and is exhausting and will likely take 18 months+, but it is possible. I hope you can do it if you really need it, friend
Also the website "closes" at night. As dumb as that sounds its because the SSA is obligated to have phone support available for its 'customers' and they can't have people 24/7, so the website closes.
But you didnt have to go to like 50+ psychologist sessions

>Tfw you work your ass off in a foreign country, went to the top university only for your salary to be topped off by neetbux
This make me legitimately sad desu
>TFW just got diagnosed with high functioning autism
>TFW I'm a burger, so disability wouldn't pay for jack shit, but I might as well get on it anyway.
As someone with barely any experience with disability/autismbux, how the fuck do I even start the process, much less actually convince the fucked system that my disability is actually crippling and worth giving me money for?
Sorry for asking a retarded question, I just need to know because I plan on starting the process soon-ish.
This post. Might be easier for you depending on the state, but having that autism diagnosis on file is your biggest in.
This. I'm a long term NEET and I don't feel a sense of shame or guilt like I'm supposed to. If someone calls me a parasite I just feel annoyed or a blankness. I don't feel I missed out on anything. I don't care if I'm a loser or not. What's wrong with me?
I take it you're not some kind of genius autist? That must suck, having autism without the super powers.
Yeah this is bullshiy wtf. I only get 142 quid a week here. Aussies are so lucky.
Urgh, I am getting tired of NEETbux/Autismbux
I am nothing but a prisoner who is at the mercy of his psychiatrist and authority. I have to comply with all sorts of stuff to keep getting money.
I am tired of it, I am tired of life.
Thanks, user. I'm a Commiefornia fag, so hopefully living in this shitty blue state will work in my favor.
I mean, it depends on what you call "Genius". People always tell me that I'm extremely intelligent, and I have a scarily uncanny knack for picking things up that I'm interesting in and mastering them, especially stuff like fighting games, mainly due to autistic obsession.
That "intelligence" also comes with a literal complete lack of intuitive social skills/people skills in general. Everything I know about social rules and interactions I've learned the hard way my entire life. It sucks, forgetting I'm in a public place and saying something that instantly makes everyone around me avoid me, or pissing one of my friends off because I tried to be funny and ended up just being an asshole.
It's gotten to the point where I've become mostly an isolated NEET. I leave the house maybe once or twice a month, and only interact with 3-4 people regularly IRL. I genuinely enjoy that, though, even if it gets lonely sometimes.
>muh mercy
What? Mine doesnt even want to see me because he cant charge me full fee, he only charges the minimum fee which the gov pays for so Im not out of pocket, so he sets my appointments like 3-6 months apart lol
You could not be luckier.
cdss.ca.gov
I live in Washington, so its good, but not as good as California, unfortunately.
I have to go to therapy, have regular appointments, have to do volunteer working units.
I am sick of it, either way I am a slave to the system.
What country is this?
I only go to my clinical psychologist often because she is a qt 35-40 year old and its nice to be next to a woman like that often, and its paid for by gov
Well I'll be damned. I guess my luck isn't 100% shit after all, just 99%.
One thing you have to remember though is that everything is much, much more expensive here, including rent and food so hopefully that extra money will be able to offset those increased prices.
Like I said, I live in Washington. I'm familiar with all those things!
Do you actually have to talk in therapy or can you just wait it out?
This is a weird question. Therapy is literally all about talking. Why not take getting help seriously?
Lmao, fair enough. I haven't ever really left California except when I was really young, so I wouldn't really know what it's like in other states.
Is everything this damn expensive on the West Coast? It's fucking bullshit lmao.
The west coast is the only truly livable part of the US so its understandable, at least
How would talking ever help? My issues are more serious than that. Also if its mandatory with the goal of getting him off neetbux hed be retarded to "take it seriously" whatever the hell that eve means
Because therapists literally are there to talk to. They're trained to help you guide yourself to better coping methods for whatever problems you have. You get as much out as you put in, basically. And for the disability process, you just want to be as transparent as possible, even if it feels pathetic, its what you have to do
>What date did your become unable to work
Do I put the date I got diagnosed, or my birth date, since autism is something you're both with? Sorry for the retarded question, these forms are already confusing me.
Please God let this be simple.
>Because therapists literally are there to talk to
About what and why? I dont like talking why should I be forced to? And once again my problems cant just be solved by talking about them
Germany
It is expected you take part in it.
Yeah sure but I've been doing therapy for more than 5 years now and spend most sessions in silence because the therapist expected me to start the session
Yeah, these forms are intentionally designed to be intimidating and strange (thanks, Reagan & Clinton).The earliest autism diagnosis you can find for yourself is the date you should put.
My mental health professionals wanted to interview my parents (even though I am 30) to confirm my story about being a shut in NEET forever without ever having a job. They actually couldnt comphrehend that have gone all this time being a shut in NEET never having not even 1 job or leaving the house.
It is all true and pathetic and after they interviewed my parents they basically got the autismbux process started.
Good thing it is all true, amazing that one can become so pathetic that your 100% true life is autismbux worthy, not even needing to lie or make shit up.
I mean, most people's problems cant be solved by talking, but just getting the right words to explain whats wrong with you will put you on a path to getting better, more precise help, like medication or a psychiatry referral, etc
has your head doctor ever said you were unable to work?
Youre just saying words. None of that is helpful or makes any sense.
Going there is actually a burden for me.
I see the Chads there, I see the girls there and how they start interacting and being all friendly.
I am an outcast on the inside and outside.
Thanks, user.
You know, it doesn't surprise me that these forms are intentionally bullshit and intimidating. It's the first line of defense against trying to give people disability. If you fuck up the paperwork, you gotta do it all over again, or you'll just get straight up denied.
Fuck, man. Is it this stupidly difficult in other countries?
I mean, I haven't seen a psych ever. The last time I saw a doctor before I started this process was years ago. My psychologist didn't straight up tell me that I was unable to work when I was officially diagnosed, though. Will that fuck me over?
Therapy is a way to calibrate the other mental health care you need to receive, basically. I'm not sure how else to explain it
I work at Centrelink, pretty sure you're exaggerating on the amount there.
Rent assistance isn't that much. It's like $180 maximum and that's if you have children.
Holy fuck though dude. The threshold for DSP is insane when it comes to non-physical disabilities. You must be an absolute fucking spastic.
Do you have an intellectual disability too by chance?
>Is it this stupidly difficult in other countries?
No, at least not other 1st world nations. America just has a criminally bad social safety net. I hope it can be improved and expanded one day
I'm pathetic like that too. Why don't I care? It's like I don't care if others consider me a loser or not. I have no sense of shame for it.
But why am I expected to be able to put my mental health problems into words when the reason I need therapy in the first place is because I'm crazy? Why am I still being treated like a normal person?
I think you're just fundamentally misunderstanding this whole thing. I'm not sure how to help, I'm sorry.
That sounds about right. America has always had a very strong tendency to fuck over everyone except for the rich people.
>"Does your condition cause you pain or other systems"
I mean, yeah, but none of it's physical... I have depression, ADHD, and autism. Do I put yes or no there?
Ugh, this is bullshit.

I dont know, what do you think?
Yeah, a lot of the questions are centered around physical disability, just answer as honestly as you can. For reference, I'm on disability for bipolar disorder type 2, and I went through this exact form back in 2016
Also: the form doesn't have to be 100% perfect, you'll end up going back and revising it a few times. A rep from SSA will likely call you at some point
Finally I got you to shut up normiescum
Not that guy, but that doesn't fit my definition of being an absolute spastic case. None of those things would stop you from holding down a job, not really. When I think of an absolute spastic, I think literal drooling potato, not weirdo loner. No judgement here either, I'm a paranoid weirdo loner myself.
>Doesn't have to be 100% perfect
Thank God, that's a load off of my shoulders. I just don't want this to take longer than it has to, hence my desire for perfection.
Man, I'm mentally ill enough to be considered disabled too, I just manage to not be a weird prick about it you know? Chill the hell out
Oh I forgot im also a life long asthmatic so I cannot even do labourer jobs because it involves dust and dirt which fucks with my asthma.
I always think I could get some labour job like that but then I remember my asthma
Kill yourself youre obviously better than me. Dont try to relate to me
You think you're better than him? Huh?
I'm not better than anyone. I want you to get help too, I just wish you weren't being so aggressive. I'm sorry for calling you a prick
hahahahaha

u have no idea u lucky fucking bastard rich person motherfucker i hate u making 900 dollars every two weeks for doing nothing
we dont even have autism here or welfare if we did i would be diagnosed
I am that guy.
Tbh it really sounds like your psych felt bad for you.
Like not to talk it down, you have some serious issues its obvious.
But none of that really qualifies you. There's something called impairment points and those things are pretty hard to rack up.
Most medical professionals know Centrelink yields to medical advice so it was probably hammed up somewhat.
Sorry to hear about your life though. You might consider giving your parents a break though and moving out? Have you considered trying housing commission?
>we dont even have autism here
thats such a funny way to put it
HELP FOR WHAT I DONT LIKE TALKING I CANT WORK I DONT WANNA HAVE A LIFE SO LEAVE ME ALONE WHY DOES EVERYONE BUT ME THINK IM SO AWESOME FUCKING TEACHERS PARENTS THERAPIST ALL ARE CONFUSED WHY I HAVE GIVEN UP DESPITE ME BEING SO SMART AND ATTRACTIVE
Hey, bud, I really think you should go lie down or find a way to center yourself rn, you're not reacting to this particularly well.
Alright, I just now finished all of the form crap. Now what do I do? Just fucking wait? Is there anything else I could/should be doing?
Fuck, I hope that I don't have to go through 5 miles of bullshit. I need these bux, man. I can't work, I'd sooner shoot myself.
Just wait, yeah. Maybe consider calling in on monday and talking about your application to a rep. Good luck, I know you can do it!
>moving out
Lol nice joke
Thanks, user... Fingers fucking crossed, yeah? Hopefully my luck will actually be good for once in my life... Maybe I'll get lucky as fuck and only need to wait a few months before I get on disability, without any hitches whatsoever...
On a related note, when would be the best time to get a lawyer for this shit? After I get rejected the first time?
Yeah. Disability lawyers work on contingency, so if for some reason they can't make it work for you, you're not stuck with a bill. Instead, they take a set % of your backpay (what you would have received from social security if you got it the day you applied up until you're accepted) as pay.
I wouldn't care either if I could accept a hermit lifestyle.
But I cannot, I tried it but I am not strong enough, I need social interaction and to make social interaction go well, to some extent you need to care about how others perceive you.
At least, that's what I've experienced in my attempt to escape isolation.
Depends on the country, really. In the end it's nothing but guidelines and no hard cuts.
In Germany you would be most probably get diagnosed with autism and then apply for welfare.
You'll get rejected at least once and it's likely not worthwhile if someone else hasn't already done it for you.
Alright, perfect. I think that's all the questions I have. Hopefully I won't need to ask any more later on.
Wish me luck, fellow robots.
>tfw in the U.S you can only get neetbux if you have less than 3k usd in assets or live with someone with less than 3k in assets.
I thought it was 2K? You're essentially stuck if you live in the suburbs since that makes it impossible to get to a job without a car you're not allowed to save to buy.
You're supposed to buy a car with debt :^)
