Aspie specific resources in my area?

Post Reply New Topic

Hello,

I have Asperger's syndrome, my family believes I'm just making it up and underestimate me, overestimates me, and refuse to help me in any way that is useful to my development as an adult and I've been trying to find SOME kind of resources in my area. I really have no idea what to do but I would really just like to get a job, move as far away from my family as possible, be a hermit for the rest of my days while being invisible to society in a meaningless position. It would be a step up from my current situation.

Does anyone know of any sort of work related resources in Carson City Nevada? Possibly even ones specialized to someone like me? If not I'm afraid i'm screwed, I've applied for around 40+ businesses and not a single call, interview, nothing. My family are driving me insane and I would enjoy being busy all day away from them.

My subject is computers which I am great at but don't have anything on paper so sadly I will never be able to work a job in what I WANT to do unless I go to college. Which my family surely won't help me attain, So I would have to rely on myself but myself sucks. I have no work experience because noone has ever given me a single shot at trying anything, and I mean anything, I've applied for janitorial, fast food, etc. Only thing I refuse to do is anything competitive, competition urks me to the point of going on a massive killing spree.

I've unofficially worked as a ranch hand for several places tending to animals large and small, adding additions to the architecture in the ranch etc. I can really do anything assigned.

I've tried applying for SSI and SSD but was declined by both, Only thing I could qualify for was low rental housing and food stamps. Which the low rental housing is meaningless if I don't even have the small amount of money required to pay the rent lol.

If you help me I appreciate it, If you flame me at least be constructive or you will be ignored.
