My life was a misfire
You are enabling on purpose? You have no principles of your own? You go through life as a maestro, enabling the behaviour of others?
Whatever you choose to call it, yes, I would like you to stop.

People make posts and I respond to them when I feel inclined to say something. There's really not anything more to it than that. Now do you want everyone to never respond to another one of ASS-P's posts? Or is it that they can, but you want to regulate what they say? I'm really not sure what you are attempting to accomplish.
This is The Haven. I think rather than giving advice that won’t be heeded we can just listen or not respond at all.
I think there are probably more diagnoses going on besides autism. He needs to change the way he interacts with people in person because they are the only ones who would be able to give him the help he needs.

Since this is the Haven, I'm going to request that we all stop talking about ASS-P as if he isn't even here. Ultimately, this is his thread to rant/complain/whine in, and, if that's all he wants to do, then let's let him be.
As for the rest of the issues brought up in this discussion, yes, the mods are going to start cracking down on people spamming the forum with the same topic over and over again, and we're not going to continue to be as lenient with people who want to cuss-out other users and then blame their circumstances for their poor behavior.
Beyond that, let's stop bickering. Thanks.

...FOUR drafts lost, IIRC, even though I tried to deal with this phone's usual freezing
. I have to do SO MUCH MORE to get less
.
I have not asked for help, now, with applying to college, ONLY with obtaining the HS transcripts - the TLPOP
- I HAVE tried to college-apply in the past, and I HAVE been greeted with my full records not being sent. It's only that I am speaking of now, not the actual application...no matter how ' I had help myself and a functioning g I frastructure but like to le Ture other people about how they must do it with no help whatsoever " RU frames it
.
And fantasies of " Go get yourself a fake GED based upon telling people false information about your HS years ", or " the whole class of admissions-officers people who stabbed you in the back during the Twentieth Century have all magically become nicer, so go trust them 100% with no preparation " do not convince me
. If Robin can fix things so that I can then write my HS and get copies of the transcripts for myself so that it won't matter if they respond to a 21st attempt in the same manner they did in the 20th
- it won't matter. I HAVE NO family that cares about me to help me,.incidentally

OK since you and RR are both homeless, and you are not currently enrolled in any school, where do you think your 2 little pieces of paper should be sent?

I am glad to hear that.

In order for your high school transcripts to be considered "valid" and "official," they need to be sent directly from your old high school to the college you are applying to.
This isn't me "attacking" you, it's me informing you, as someone who has been to several colleges, about what the reality is.

...They refused - or perhaps " were not able "
- to send them, when I applied in the past, XFG
. Perhaps knowing I had them would " embarrass " them enough to send them, for re - AS THEY DIDN'T BEFORE
!
I should perhaps ignore RU but people give him more attention than he deserves:x - It's lucky he said little this time, I guess.
I have a mailing address. Didn't I say that?
Wouldn't it be presumed that I had one, to speak of receiving something? ![]()

I have trouble understanding how you applied to three colleges and attended at least one college, if you have never been able to get your high school transcripts.
As mentioned before, it's against Federal Law for your high school alma mater to withhold your transcripts from you. Which I'm sure they know. Hard to imagine they would be willing to commit a Felony for the reasons you listed.

I'm thinking there is likely way more to this issue of them not sending the records then we are hearing here. Like you asked for them but didn't have a valid place for them to send them, which would be the registration office of a school you were applying to. If you just said "Send them care of St Anns Homeless Shelter on 666 Burnout Lane," then yes, they wouldn't have sent them.
Or perhaps its the way in which you went about asking for them. Like shouting incoherent crazy stuff and then slamming down the phone.

Well, I hope everything works in your favor.
And dealing with bureaucracy can be a real b_tch.

...Thank you, XFG. RU's nasty comments before made me make a response I lost that - perhaps - I will leave unsaid. I will try to ignore him. He knows nothing, and is wrong

Well OK then. I actually do hope you can start school somewhere, so you can experience how great its not and quit yacking about it here.

I need to clarify something.
ASS-P's high school did send transcripts to the colleges he'd applied to, but the transcripts, according to ASS-P, were not the satisfactory full ones. What he wants from me is to convince the school to send him the true transcripts because, according to him, they didn't do it right before.
There are two points I observe here. First, I don't know if his former high school has different types of transcripts that they send out, and second, would they even respect me as some kind of authority to comply with my request?
That's where everything stands now. Reaching the transcript-forwarding people at his former high school has been a trying event especially since the school district is on skeleton staff for the summer. Maybe things will work out once the school starts back in full later this year.
