I have determined that God exists and her name is Charlotte Brontë. :heart:

I was wondering about that myself....

I'm guessing Emily is the power behind the throne :)

Hey, hey, hey, I can understand that sentiment and I have felt like that myself due to the ineffectiveness of some of the job coaches I have as well, as there was no economic diversity in the areas I've lived in up to this point..Don't give up..


Thank youu, it's partly my fault for choosing law as a Major and if i want to go to an uni for a different Major now i have to enter an exam which i have to study A Lot for and probably everyone will make fun of me since going to uni after a certain age is funny to those people. Idk if you work or not but good luck to you as well if you don't!



Well on an honorable standpoint I went to university at a much older time than others did so, I can understand how many people might laugh at your for going back to college at an older age. I would not let that hinder or stop you at all.2nd, I'm currently unemployed yet seeking work, intiially part time as, I'm on SSDI pensiion;however, I wish to eventually depart that and transition into full time over the next 5-30 years.
So, in saying this , I hope your able to find serenity regardless of what steps you take to get there. Honestly, I didn't find out what I was good with until about 2008 and have struggled to work towards making that come true, as I now have my certification just need to enter into an entry level job pertaining to such.

Once again, I truely do wish a great amount of sincerity & serenity in wherever or whatever you do in life.

I didn't go back to college until I was 36.

I got my Bachelor's at 45.

Emily rules the entire Universe and cosmos. Charlotte is merely one God.

I have to say though, as much as Charlotte was a prig she was absolutely flawless with the written word.

That is so sad. I am going to look up more info on him.

This is similar to what I read in the book Been There Done that try this in which an ASD man said he got his bachelor’s at 44.
He said that to reassure and remind ASD ppl that they follow a different timeline and comparison to NT standards is fruitless

April,
You have an advantage as a mature student. You may be able to apply for some programs with special consideration as a mature student, especially if you mention your ASD status. I don't recall that you have a diagnosis but since they're impossible to obtain where you live, just state your neurodiversity as a matter of fact. There may be accommodations around you taking the GRE or LSAT, or whichever exam you need to sit.

Ah, that's what I've wanted to do myself, though I'm not very well known in my community and I'm not known for doing a great deal of speeches or public scenarios. In fact, I've not been able to advocate for my own self in many scenarios;however, I keep trying.

Truthfully, I'd say start at such on a small level though growing in incremental levels over time

It's possible, since after all, all men can become gods, it seems reasonable to assume this includes both weremen and wifmen.

I am god and you can too.

Why am I going dreamy eyed over white haired pretty boys more than usual today, and then turn around and notice how gorgeous Bayonetta is despite never playing nor wanting to play any of her games?

I need to work v hard n become v rich so i can spend it all on my sons’ educations as they r cutting funding regardless of diagnostic level

(severe needs n severe ASd kids get the same amount as much more functional kids which makes no sense esp as the amount will barely cover a few months of therapy, per year!)

I googled the law clerks name today fr no reason when my brother was over n i show d him ‘look she looks so nice n honest!! I cannot believe it etc’
I wish I wasn’t so fixated on that incident n lady slandering me but he told me I have every right to be and it’s understandable

I wonder what I shd do to make tons of money that i can save fr my sons therapy fr future???

With friends to break up the days without that special someone.

PS My earlier short post was just to be random, nothing to do with anything.
