| I am 19 and I have been out of high school for more than several months. During the September and October months I have been taking a 1 and a 1/2 hour long IT class where we talk about finding a job. Lately I have been lazy and I for some reason I just don't want a job at all. I am worried that I m... |

| I have felt exactly the same, although for me when I had absolutely no direction ironically I was hardly ever deeply depressed. I'm not going to say the grass is any greener in my pasture but today for me was one of those times I wanted to say F- it all and run off. Part of it is feeling that the n... |

| Hey guys. I'd like to talk semantics here, relating to my interest in how neurodiverse kids are treated - specifically, my future neurodiverse kids. So, having grown up in inner city special ed for part of my childhood, I dug around a bit since I'm not comfortable with how a lot of districts handle... |

| Life is so easy for me, I stay at home all day, I don't have a job, my family is often gone. Sadly it became too easy that I've been feeling really down and unpreductive because of it.

| You're definitely not alone in this. Many of us here, myself included, are inbetweeners. We don't really fit one description or another perfectly but know we have problems dealing with people. Some of us may also have other autistic issues as well, but they are generally not severe enough to be cli... |

| I can empathize with how you feel. I am self-supporting and live by myself but at the same time I am very inept socially. As a result I am treated like I am not worthy of even taking up space. Although I tend to filter everything logically and intelligently; I am still treated like a non-entity. I ... |

| Yes I hate feeling in-between too. I think since my symptoms aren't very apparent or are too mild when people meet me they don't think "that girl's autistic" or "that girl has a disability" they just think "this girl's weird/creepy/stupid etc" or just "eww I don't like her" :x yeah i know! i dont l... |

| You may be undervaluing yourself somewhere. I know I have undervalued myself grossly in the past, and I still do. I know I am smarter than a lot of people in certain areas, but as soon as someone criticizes me, I'm inclined to just think, "Oh, man, I knew it... I'm crap." It takes a long time to bu... |
