Im going to a doc to see if I have AS this month, if i do im quitting my job at mcdonalds and calling a lawyer for SSI, im sick of the anxiety. Im going to give up on life, just stay home, tell my gf, if she leaves me so be it. THe only reason shes with me is because of my manipulation and mirroring NT ways. Then i will never look at another aspie site as long as i live. I will die with broken dreams, i will never have children because i am selfless enough to not spread these genetics. My parents dont beleive in autism disorders and say lazy people make them up for excuses to not socialize, but im just going to split the monthly SSI checks for rent so they are not on my ass. Im 23 btw.

Bad idea. Go see the lawyer first and ask for some advice about being assessed ... and then keep in mind what someone has already said to you in your other thread: Having an AS/HFA diagnosis does not automatically make anyone disabled according to SSA rules.

You have a girlfriend and a job. You're already doing better than 50% of the people on SSI. Now the people on SSI will think you're a fake.

Anxiety is not a function of Autism. It's a symptoms of maladjustment. Change your life and/or outlook.

I've worked at Mcdonald's and it was very stressful for me, too.
If you do qualify for SSI, they might be able to help you get a job that isn't so stressful at some point. If you stayed at your Mcdonald's job, they might help your boss make the situation easier for you to maneuver. Disability doesn't automatically mean you can never work. You might actually enjoy working more after diagnosis and getting the services you need to help manage.

Yeah, for sure. I wasn't able to stay at a job as a grocery store cashier, and McDonald's is probably worse. But McDonald's isn't the only career choice out there. I can't pass an interview to save my life, but I still work. There are always options. You just have to find what works for you.

Don't you have any ambitions at all? I'm frequently depressed about my social anxiety (I can't even greet my classmates without feeling weird; consequently, I don't greet them at all) and yet, I'm studying accounting and have already left my old job at a grocery store for an internship that pays as much for about 30% of the work hours. At 23 years old and living with your parents, it's the perfect moment for you to do the same.

Also, you have a girlfriend, which proves you are a lot better at handling anxiety than you give yourself credit for. I, on the other hand, don't even try to approach girls; I can't stop thinking about the perceived) negative outcomes. :oops:

As I said before, you need to be more ambitious. You've mentioned "broken dreams", implying that you do have something you aspire to. Make that your goal and work at it, instead of resigning yourself to living on government paychecks. I'm doing the same and it's helping me.
