Just so long as you don't mean killing yourself, because we don't want you to do that.

Anyway, where do you live? try searching for those sorts of things in your area on Google.

Don't know what country you are from. There is a ranch for autistic males in Camp Verde Arizona called Rusty's Ranch. It takes money though and generally your parents have to put you in such a place. However none of the autism ranches take high functioning Aspies as far as I've heard, only low spectrum Auties.

Basically there is nothing for adult Aspies. There are a few support groups throughout the country, but its usually just monthly meetings. There is no group that will take care of you just because you have Aspergers. Just sign up at a temporary agency because you are guaranteed to get a job through those places and just live a quiet existence in a small apartment or similar place.

In the last few years, famous people have been using "rehab" as a kind of therapeutic escape. They don't always go there to get off drugs or anything- just to get their heads on straight and their lives back in order. You could look into that sort of thing.
