Its not the most comfortable by any means but it's a lot better than nothing.

I got on it while living with my mom, then after meeting my boyfriend and his room-mates turning on him and essentially throwing him out...me and him moved into my brothers house he has with some room-mates. It was way too crowded but we made due for a year, with our bedroom looking like a hoarder room. Then we moved into a small one bedroom apartment which turned into absolute hell it was a real hovel and now we got a better apartment but more expensive so its a larger financial strain. So I suppose it helps to live with someone or multiple room-mates I suppose, but can still be a struggle.

But other then that you can also apply for subsidized housing if you're on SSI, it can take a while for anything to open up but its certainly another option. Honestly though even for people working full time it can be hard to afford living costs, my boyfriend might not be able to afford to live in Colorado if I wasn't able to help pay expenses with my SSI money.

Still though no way to live on it without being poor.

I make due. I live comfortably enough for me. I have a house. Clothes, food, I have some nice things. I work part time and get disability. It’s no middle class lifestyle but besides nit having a gf or friends it’s not bad. If I lose my job it’ll get worse as I won’t have any food money or the slight spending money I have.

No, if you still live with your parents it is unikely that someone would want to date you, especially if you're a complete loser. Im sorry but thats how it is. And its not that easy to get disability benefits, infact it is nearly impossible if you're not completely retardedd.

:lol: So many 'wrong answers' if that were directed to me. Because my world is different from yours. Though there are no 'right answers' when it comes to feelings and opinions.

Living with parents as an adult is a norm from where I live.
Culture here dictates it's not a sign of a loser -- and I'm aware anywhere else says otherwise.

Dating is one of the last things in my mind -- I don't even had a crush, I don't look for relationships I don't dream of marriage and having children.
You know what you want, and I know what I want. I'd be the wrong person to ask me if someone would've date me or if I would've date someone.

And the system from where I live is certainly less reliable than the west. :lol: Next to obsolete even. I live in a 'third world' country.
Sending the disabled and elderly isn't a common practice and is considered a luxury, owning a place before age 25 is considered super lucky, divorce here is illegal, some quarter of my batchmates and other younger women I've met are single moms, etc.
The majority of people I know throughout my life -- and almost all of them are NTs -- 'fails' at your 'standards' of 'living', practically poverty in many foreign standards.

My world is different from yours.


You have a lot to learn in life, and highly likely capable of doing so -- autism doesn't hold a person back from that.
You know what truly holds you back? 'Attacking' autism doesn't solve that. :twisted: Death doesn't solve that.

Here in the states living with your parents in your 20's and 30's is becoming the norm. It's a lot cheaper for one thing. Buying or renting another house or apartment is very expensive now.

I think it also used to be more common in the old days. That's probably one of the reasons why people had bigger houses in the 1800's so that they could fit their whole family

I thought about suicide because I was afraid of living poor. When I commited myself they helped me find a bording house. It has everything included. No power bill, free washer and dryer, free phone, free wifi and cable. I have at least $130 extra bucks to spend every two months and on the third like $300 extra money to spend on whatever I want. So maybe they can hook you up with a living situation where there are lots of benifits so you wont be poor.

Careful some people here will Judge yiu for thst extra money.
Some people think being poor means never having nice things and living in a mud shack barely getting by on 2 meals of top romin a day. They want welfare to just barely sustain existence.p, just baring keep somone one hour away from death anything more is not ok.
Example I have a nice phone and a PS4, so people hold that against me. Gun owners do t think I should own guns. Some say people on benefits shouldn’t be allowed to vote even.

Why shouldn’t people like us or sweetleafe be able to get some nice things. It’s no where near what middle class people have
