Since my abilities have once again been brought up by someone and you asked for further clarification, my abilities to make friends in the real world has pretty much been governed by my more severe outward classic autism traits such as being very withdrawn and nonverbal. Plus extensive stimming such as rocking, hand movements and sounds I make, tend to cause people to distance themselves from me. But I do have a few chums so speak at school.

I have always gotten along quite well with most of my teachers. Of course if one of my teachers behaved like a certain individual, they would get fired immediately.

As far as a job goes, between my cognitive and physical disabilities, I'm not sure what sort of job I would be able to get. Certainly nothing ordinary. Not even something as simple as working at McDonald's. Plus an employer would be unable to conduct a standard interview since I am nonverbal. Most likely if my family is eventually unable to care for me, or if I decide to do so, I will just end up in a care facility. Although I would rather somehow live independently of course.

Learn a skill. Lots of jobs are work from home now. What about Freelance writing? Your writing skills are obviously good.

Yes, and if they weren't progressives they would have at least gotten TOS's and this thread would have been locked.

I think I already mentioned that one of them reported me for criticizing his spelling and/or calling him paranoid over VP Pence in another thread.

Normally I don't advocate thread locking or TOS's but in this case it is warranted.

Progressives?

If you dont believe in free speech for those you despise, then you dont believe in free speech.

So locking a thread is ok when you are losing?

Unfortunately my learning disabilities and dexterity issues interfere with learning employable skills that I know of. My writing is my strong suit, but I'm not sure what I could do with it beyond something like operating a blog. I have attempted writing stories, but I am unable to concoct plots that go anywhere. Plus I write extremely slowly, like 10-12 words per minute. But I will keep working on that stuff with my teachers and occupational therapist.

If you have to fall back on this, there are group homes for autistic adults where you could be reasonably independent.

Have your family help you with this. Maybe you could make some money blogging, or do some home-based job.

But I think you just might be able to get a regular HS diploma or GED by 21. What does your dad say?

Oh yeah. There's a couple of good places I know of.



Oh they've always been involved in helping me. I'm working my way to a diploma or GED the same as any student. My dad says he's always there for me and encourages me a lot. That things will work out okay one way or another and not to worry.

Yes -- speaking as a long-time teacher, I'm pretty sure Ezra has a bright future ahead of him.

I genuinely appreciate the vote of confidence. But I'm not sure what you would say if you viewed my abysmal test scores in most areas.

i think so too. what a mess we came out of....

it seems we settled on a new topic here. it's a good one. but we can continue it elsewhere.
