Yeah I kind of faced the same issue when I applied for SSI...i probably would have needed an official diagnoses of all the issues I have in order to have been approved but I could not afford to get any of that beforehand because I live on college loans and grants.....the loans have to be paid back some day so yeah I guess I just have to hope I don't need emergency medical care, can find a job before i am done with college or get a degree I can use for a job. Unfortunatly I do not have any great suggestions as i have not really figured out what to do about it either.

Yeah if I feel like paying...I guess I could see how much that would be but I get the feeling it would be too much for someone with a set amount of money each semester. They did have free counseling or therapy or something but they got rid of that.

Your going to hate me for saying this but can't you find a job that offers medical insurance? Even though I have been laid off for a year I still pay for my own medical insurance I got from my last job. It was the first job I had with medical insurance. Once they give you medical insurance and you get your Asperger's Syndrome diagnosis start acting up or screwing up so they fire you it would look better it would seem like you cannot hold down a job.

Nope....chances are those are just the kind of jobs that require drug tests as a rule, I think I will have to go the minimum wage direction or the get a degree and hopefully do something useful with it direction. Not to mention I do not think I can handle a job on top of college just yet. Also as benificial as that be to prove I cannot hold down a job I dont know if I want to go through that again....I mean every time I lose a job it destroys what little bit of self confidence I may have managed to build up because it always makes me feel like I was the expendable one who does not quite understand what it is that seems to go over my head every time(this causes paranoia, then I start acting kind of rude because I'm anxious that something is being kept from me). I feel like if I can find a job I am comfortable at maybe that would be less of an issue.

In Singapore, so long as you're aspie or autistic, you got totally no insurance or healthcare plan.

The machineshop I worked at did not do drug tests the boss said his drug test was if you show up stoned and get your fingers cut off in the machines then you failed his test. We had a female drill press operator who was going to college she was coming back and forth between school and work all day long the bosses did not care as long as her work was done. Also they make drinks that cleanse your urine I have used them when I worked at the resteraunt.

Ok, back in school i was diagnosed with moderate AS, had an IEP and all that. Nowadays, i am employed for barely over minimum wage. Company health insurance costs $70 per week and has a deductible of $2000. I do not qualify for medicaid because i am single with no children, and have no proof of disability.

Without medicaid, i cannot afford to get a clinical diagnosis, and without said diagnosis, i cannot get medicaid. I have not had a physical since 2003, i have not seen a dentist since 2003. Last year i paid out of pocket for an eye exam and glasses, i put that off as long as i could.

I feel like i am "locked out" of the healthcare system, and i have exactly ZERO faith in the Obama plan. His plan addresses the "poor" but it only goes so far down the scale. In 2006, i made $9800 but was considered "too rich" for medicaid. Under the obama plan, which is little more than a "mandate", i will be forced to buy the ridiculously expensive company insurance that will decrease my effective take home net pay to roughly $140 per week.

Getting a second job is entirely out of the question, by the time i get home from the convenience store job, im ready to rip somebody's vocal chords out through their butt-pipe. Dealing with stupid BS all day, constant degradation, no breaks at all (im lucky if i get time for a candy bar for lunch). By the time 3 oclock comes around, im barely functioning. Work takes so much from me that in the afternoons after work, i just sit in my room on the computer, i dont look at anyone, speak to anyone, or go out in public.

Any suggestions?

I am waiting to see if the Obama plan causes insurance to become less expensive.
You might be able to find a clinic where the fees are determined by ability to pay. I went to one and only paid twenty five for the exam and about five bucks for each test. The problem is prescriptions. They are still regular price and without insurance, you know what that means. You might be able to find a prescription plan at a pharmacy so you can get the treatment the doctor prescribes.

I got something in the mail Thursday from Medicaid because they are covering my Medicare & drug premium. I've been on it a year & they just reviewed my case again.

Our records show
Your total income for the month IS LESS THAN $908 (or $1,226 if married).
The things you own like bank accounts, stocks, & real estate that is not your home are NOT MORE THAN $6,680 (or $10,020 if married).

I'm not sure is those are the income & asset requirements for regular Medicaid program thou

I had a job kind of like that except it was just a shop for building things out of wood.......I guess I am too slow at those types of jobs. But yeah there are certainly jobs that do not drug test but a lot of the ones providing any sort of health insurance do I am pretty sure. I could be wrong though. But yeah I agree with not coming to work stoned they don't need a drug test to prevent that.......not to mention cannabis can stay in your system for 30 days so if you test positive that does not even prove you got stoned before work.[/quote]

The stuff in the link above will flush the thc out of your system I did it after smoking weed a day before the test and it. When you get the bottle of the stuff to flush out your urine drink it before you go in to be tested then you use the bottle it came in to drink several bottles of water. Then you go in for the testing. I drank so much water my urine had almost no color to it. I passed everytime I went for the test. Just follow the directions on the bottle. It tastes like gakk but it works.

Drink this stuff :idea:

Alright I will look into that if I ever face needing to pass a drug test.

If they ask why your pee is so clear looking tell them you like to stay hydrated because it keeps your skin from breaking out. That is what worked for me. :wink: I never failed a piss test yet. :twisted: I kept two of them in my locker at the resteraunt i worked at. I sold one for $70.00 to some idiot who could not figure out where to by some. He lived two blocks from where I bought it he could have walked over to buy it. :lol: Stupid NTs, :roll:

Apply for Social Security, they will pay for whatever medical or psych screenings they want to document your disability. They may not recognize Aspergers as a disability yet, but HFA or Schizoid Personality Disorder or chronic depression or ADD they will. Since you have been working, you probably would get regular disability (SSDI), plus you could work somewhere part-time.
