See, that's what I like about these forums, I'm always learning something.

I would have assumed 'Bacharachted' to mean 'forced to listen to elevator music'.

That was my initial interpretation as well.

Brandy's parents are taking her for granted. The thinking is, well my kid is disabled so he/she will always be with us, so I can use him/her as a punching bag. My parents did the same thing. I moved out three days after graduation from HS. My parents left my room empty, assuming I'd be back within a month or two. They kept it empty for TWO YEARS! They FINALLY got the idea that I wasn't coming back. With that in mind, their attitudes largely self-adjusted. I think Brandy (zelda) needs to move out and NOT go back, even if she has to live in a homeless shelter. Her parents would soon repent. Going to visit your kid in a shelter is humbling.

been baker acted twice. Once by my mom and the second by cops.

That's an awfully dangerous assumption. Who says they would come to visit anywhere?

They might just lock the door after and go on with life as though nothing had changed.

Taking any action with that sort of assumption in mind is manipulative and risky. Some of us don't do so well out in the wide world without our families' support. Living with some aggravation might be preferable to sleeping under a bridge.

And thats why im still at home. Cause im not going to sleep under a bridge, ill kill myself before dooping that low.

This is just my opinion and I am not suggesting that ZP do this unless she knows how to survive outdoors in the bush in winter and summer.
If I was in ZP's situation, I would prefer to sleep under a bridge than be in an unpredictable abusive home AND I LIVE IN CANADA where temperatures can drop to -45 degrees celsius. I'd just make sure I take warm clothes, a warm coat (a big thick parka), hat, gloves,snow pants, balaclava, boots, To me, the cold winter weather in Canada would be more predictable and easy to cope with than the degree of abuse she faces. But then again, I know how to survive in extremely cold weather since that is how I grew up and adapted and know winter survival such as making a snow shelter and building a fire and how to keep ones self warm by constant movement and rub your hands if you lose feeling. If it gets really cold, then go to a church or shelter until the weather clears or find a sheltered area such as a cave, underground tunnel, etc.If you do go, also include in your kit a sleeping bag, extra clothes, some tin cups/bowls which can be put over a fire for cooking/boiling, some canned foods such as pork and beans, a water canteen, a pocket knife or hunting knife, fork, spoon, maybe a tarp to be used as a tent, some rope for the same, a small shovel, a zippo lighter with fluid and a plastic waterproof baggie to put the lighter in so it works or use water proof matches, and a book on how to trap small animals such as rabbits so you can catch your food if need be if you go out in the bush. The knife mentioned above would be used to slaughter/ cut the rabbit then skin it so it can be cooked and eaten. Also like I said, one must know how to survive in the bush before they do this.

I think most people on the spectrum would crumble in the wilderness. If the sensory issues don't get you, then the executive dysfunction will mess with the logistics of survival.
It's very easy to say "move out", but the fact is, it's hard for NTs this age to move out as well since making money is hard these days.
How many times have people here told her to move out? It's what people say on the Haven all the time, and if it were that easy, there'd be a lot less posts there right now by people forced to depend on people they hate.

My father threatened it once after pushing me into a screaming meltdown.

XD isn't living independently on your own better than being trapped Dependant on another human being especially if your scared you can't live on your on

To a certain point yes, but being homeless with no future of anything good I may as well be dead. One of the reasons I think I'm depressed is that I see no future for myself

Then i don't see how you can think living under a bridge is worse than living at home, since you can't see a future for yourself.
