Ask me anything, this is at least the only useful thing I can contribute to society

Stop making threads, you're boring
Oh wow
well, my train of thought was, that since I'm a low functioning autistic my ama would be unique
what is your daily routine like
Usually my mom wakes me up, I'm really groggy in the morning and it takes me a while to wake up
I eat a froze breakfast biscuit something in the morning
then I spend all day on my laptop, usually I post something privately to my blog analyzing myself, since I'm autistic and I'm probably doing something wrong, so that's why I analyze myself and try to get rid of any bad habits,
I also "stalk" other autistic people online, so I can learn from them, and I check to make sure they're diagnosed and not people who say they're autistic as a insult or something quirky
So that's my routine, it barely changes, my stalking thing is questionable and I feel like its Something you Should Not Do but I do it for my own reason or doxx the people,
What kind of movies or tv shows do you like?
Hmm
I haven't been watching any movies or tv shows lately
None at the moment I guess, any video watching I do is just random youtubers on youtube
How low functioning? Can you talk?
when did you get diagnosed with autism? what led to the diagnosis?
Pt 1
Hey, so I know fucking r9k is not the best place to get actual advice but hey maybe mine can help a little.
So an old girlfriend of mine had a similar situation to yours, and I was actually the one that helped her move from where you are to being really happy. It was simultaneously the proudest and saddest moment because her life got so good she decided she didn't need me anymore.
>use what you consider a disadvantage or quirk to your advantage. You said you constantly double check your work because your worried you made a mistake. There are fields where this is a huge asset, and something alot of normal people don't do instinctivly.
>consider an artistic/creative field, sure they are not as glamorous as a white or blue collar jobs but mistakes are more tolerable and that habit of constantly checking your own work is great for digital art, painting, sketching. These jobs allow you to work on your own schedule and take your time with projects your autism could make challenging.
>Put the time you spend on the internet to use. Sure you could watch a shit ton of let's plays and other bullshit. Or you could watch tutorials and informative videos. (keeping with the artistic theme, Bob Ross, he always said "there are no such things as mistakes, just happy accidents." )
What do you think about girls?
Pt 2
>there is a saying "jack of all trades Master of none, better than a master of one" if you take life with a holistic approach, meaning you don't focus on one discipline but instead become OK at more things than others in the end you end up being more useful than them. (sure knowing how to install a carpet will get you money, but if you kinda know how to build a whole house and you can fill the rest in with Google, you will probably make more money) you don't need to beat the competition at 'their skill' to be better than them if you are pretty good at more stuff.
>always figure out finances first, and never assume you will have something in the future. ( buying a house at 100, 000 in cash is daunting but can be better than having to pay 200, 000 over time, especially if you are unsure of if you will have stable income in the future)
>drugs (weed and hallucinogens, don't do hard shit) and alcohol are fine recreationaly, but cannot be used as a crutch for any reason.
>you said you are good at stalking people over the internet, how good? I know for a fact there are services where you pay and the person digs up all the online information available on them. Consider doing this freelance, I'm sure there are sites you could post ads, or join one of the already existing organizations.
>lastly, keep the people that helped you close, the world is full of enemies, you can use every ally you find.
My old girlfriend now has her own flat and is as semi successful freelance artist, making enough to live a comfortable life, hence the art references. This is what she did in order to turn her life around.

They're okay, Good, would start a life with them but hopefully they don't care about my autism
I can talk, but I like being mute since I talk badly due to my autism
I was dxed since I was non-verbal, it was the classic narrative, keep going to therapists and professionals to figure out what was wrong with me, my parents did
Is your old gf autistic too? is she okay with you posting her personal info? I'm not talking down to you or saying you're wrong but its autism is deeply intimate since people define people by it and think of them lower because of it
Yes she is, she used to be very open about it, I think because she used it as a valid excuse. but nowadays tends to be rather quiet about it, she figures if people can't tell why bother giving them a way to judge her. but I was careful to not put in enough info to identify her. We are still good friends.
And I would argue overcoming and using your disability to your advantage should bring you far more respect than judgment that you had the disability in the first place.
Thanks user, but sometimes you just gotta understand that some people will judge you for your autism [dxed and not the insult kind]
Idk if you play any video games, but skyrim has a couple of good quotes.
Not situationally correct but it applies
There is a choice in the game to kill pic related or not, to judge him on either his past and nature or his current self. It's comforting and speaks volumes to know that most players chose to leave him alive their first time playing and those that didn't often feel guilty.
You're not autistic. I can tell by the way you type. Stop this.
user with Asperger's here.
I was diagnosed awhile back, I get the feeling my parents forgot the fact.
They still try to treat me like I have nothing wrong with me, but they end up triggering every issue that normally isn't a problem, unless you are an Aspie.
Don't know how to confront them about it without them treating me in an insulting matter consequencially.
I am curious. What makes low functioning, high functioning, and aspergers so different?
My day isn't much different from yours.
Instead of a laptop, its a desktop , and instead of a blog, i play a steam game. instead of looking up people's info, I watch youtube videos, sometimes informational.
I suppose it is a very different day. But considering what else, I don't really have anything else I do.
I unconsciously don't know how to discover if someone has tell tale symptoms, however you should know by how over-elaborate I type, I am a real Aspie.
Is the real difference between us the talking or how much we type?? Does anything bother you in particular when it comes to talking with other people?
I don't talk often, but when i do, I'm unable to tell if my discussion matters to those I talk to, and it becomes excessive.
Eye contact is tough for me, and more so when they directly ask for me to look at them.
do you like cats user? or dogs? any other animols?
