Autistic Spectrum Experiences

I'm watching this rn.

Very good stuff.

I suggest subscribing to his channel for tech stuff.

!autismexperiences is redundant; !autism can include experiences of autism.

I wouldn't be able to moderate for long though.

Me? Yes.

When I was trying to get a girlfriend (I'm not anymore) back in middle school and freshman to sophomore year in high school, I had an idea that asking out multiple people would increase my chances of getting a date.

I thought I was so clever when I thought it up.

I think that independence is overrated; the only way to attain proper independence is to live off the grid.

Just moving your shelter from your parents doesn't give you independence; it just shifts the care taker of the shelter. You still have to rely on other people not killing you.

When I look at legal work; my brain just shorts and feels like giving up; I believe executive dysfunction is at fault.

It takes so much time to do legal stuff; I'm thinking about getting someone else to do it for me, and I'm only 17.

• For some forms, there are legal punishments for not filing them properly; there is even a e possibility to be prisoned.

• It takes so much time to deal with legal stuff.

I still have a vote registration form left over because of that fear.

How do neurotypicals manage to deal with legal stuff (without getting repercussions for messing them up)?

It's the same issue with employment; even with a union. I have not been employed though.

• There is a risk of being abuse; the risk is large in the US.

• Office politics is convoluted.
• I may have to try to deal with abusers and manipulators.
• Work seems so tiring to me.
• I think that I would struggle to reach out for help if I need any.
• I might struggle to respect and hold boundaries; I struggled with respecting boundaries, most of them pertaining to romance, as a child and teenager.

Finance is super complicated too; so much stuff to do that my brain paralyzes. There's manipulative people that would attempt to financially abuse me.

I don't think I have the skills to deal with that yet.

I wish I could live in a distributist society where finance is automatically handled. ☹️

• So many currencies to deal with.
• So many forms.
• So much education.

This stuff makes me want to get a platonic marriage so that I don't have to deal with the prospect of doing this stuff. (Romantic marriages fail because romance does not last long.)
