I'm home all day. Because I'm ADD along with being asperger, there is no job for me. Turning back to study is useless. I have no social life, and don't see how I could have one. On internet I post regulary on WP and on another forum, but WP is too big and I don't know if it's really alright that I go on the other one. So, even on internet there's no really place for me. I don't belong anywhere. :cry:

Yeah, I was almost to that point to for a while. But I stuck it out and tried here and there and then met my wife. So don't give up. Also bare in mind its hard for people to meet people in general, but not impossible.

I often feel overwhelmed by that kind of thing as well.

I try not to think about it, but the fact is, I don't know anyone quite like me. It's rough I tells ya. :(

Look for some kind of volunteer opportunity doing something that will not greatly tax you, then just let whatever comes develop on its own. Here where I happen to live, hospitals need volunteers for helping people at the doors and finding their ways around inside. Or, maybe you have an agency where older folks can find volunteers such as yourself for helping them with getting groceries or keeping their walkways clear of snow. Whatever kind of opportunity you might find, do not be concerned about whether or not you would want it as a career. Just get out of the house for a couple of hours per day so other people can see you exist and want to participate, then see what develops!
