When I was your age I felt the same way. Scared to death and convinced I was a failure and always would be. So I'd always been told, and so I believed because after all I did make so many mistakes. Eventually I started really examining myself. There are things I do well, some extremely well. After floundering some, but getting by I eventually managed to become an accountant making 43K a year.

I had no idea what the problem actually was, why things others found so simple were so difficult for me. Now I know. As far as why? Life is a b*tch. For everyone. I have never yet known a person that thought life was just hunky dory wonderful.

My own beliefs about myself and life are more limiting than the disabilities.

I don't know what i'm going to do. This depression is killing me slowly. Iv'e been thinking about being institutionalized lately for it. I just need to get away from people. Myself, I feel pretty neurotypical for the most part, But on the inside, somehwere I know what's wrong with myself in certain areas. I'm alone mainly, The group of people I hung around, I have a feeling they just don't want me there, and i feel like the black sheep around them, and It kills me. My family always picks on me for dumb sh** iv'e done in the past, and all my flaws. I didn't ask to be like this, and it kills me that I am, and that i'll have it for the rest of my life. Who's going to want to have a partner with an ASD? I don't know what i'm going to do when the time comes for true independency. I can't drive for sh**, and I get too nervous on the main roads. How am i supposed to live without getting to point A to point B? My life is a living hell, and I just don't know what to do anymore. I just want to die sometimes. I just need to go somewhere. Somwhere where there isn't any pain, and everyone will accept me.

Anyone else feel this way?


I think you should feel blessed that you don't live in a poor rural village in Africa where you are being slowly killed off by AIDS, Malaria, starvation, and warlords.
