I was about to head out for a beer but no one replied and considering this I decided to stay in.

I'm submitting the following inquiry, basically, I'm wondering here on this thread have ever moved/relocated to a new place on your own? As of late I have been given serious consideration to moving not only to another city but, to another territory/state which, I'm not completely familiar with.Where I currently live, there is not as my resources & services available to autistic persons from young children to adults. As well, I don't wish to reside where I'm at for the rest of my life if this makes sense? Anyways, many thanks for any/all responses.

I don't know how much this will help, Kazan, but I moved across the country - from New York State to Oregon - and later on I moved from Oregon to Europe. Then back to the US East Coast a few years later. The reason I'm not sure it will help a lot is that I did it as part of changing jobs - I got the job in the new place first, then moved. And that was thirty years ago (I came back to the States 20+ years ago, and stayed put) - so I don't know if that kind of job change is easier or harder these days. I know there's a lot more remote interviewing technology but I don't know what the job markets are like.

Optimistic bottom line, though, yes it's doable, I went to and from Europe on my own, with three cats, even. (And all my furniture! Which wasn't much, but helped me feel at home there.)

i moved from the us east to the midwest. my parents helped me move my things in, but i knew no one in the new city. i eventually made a few good friends, but not before being taken advantage of by a conman of a fiance who capitalized on my loneliness. i had trouble in jobs because of my autism and after 12 years came home to live with my parents. i slowly rebuilt my life, learned small talk, learned to catch myself staring before making people obviously uncomfortable, and even got married to a great guy. some things like choice of doctors and frequency and convenience of cultural events were better in the big city. here, i have family and less traffic (i'm not a great driver).

If I could bring who I am on the inside and show it on the outside....wait a minute. That's what I've been doing for the past two and a half years.

That's dependent upon whether your highly superstitious or prone to such.

No, but Garfield the Cat would. He hates Monday, especially if it is in February.

Can't get the refrigerator door closed. I think that means it's time to defrost. :mrgreen:

I guess I've partly been lurking to see if Dragnet & Raleigh are lurking.

That and I seriously cannot sleep. How can this be even worse when I drink less caffeine?

^ You have given yourself plenty of time to plan and execute your move, Mr Kazans.

It should go nice and smooth for you.

Not sure if I will be moving myself at some point - I am walking a financial tight rope at present and only time will tell.

Off to get a roast dinner with my lovely neighbour now. To pudding or to not pudding?
