OK this is not me moaning for once I am working in a job I like and I am nearly ready to take my driving test.

Learning to live a more independent life is my next goal I am still with my parents.

Now this is the part I know I have to accept no relationships and no social life.

Reading this forum I know we are all different I can hold down a job when many can not work.
However I can not do relationships or have a social life when I know many people on the spectrum can.

I am not being in anyway being negative I always knew I could not do relationships or have a social life.
Learning two years ago I was on the spectrum and coming here has helped me focus on what I can achieve.

The people here have shown me I am not a freak I now feel good about the things I can do and don't worry about the things I can't.

My social skills are so poor it wouldn't be fair to me or another person that I got into a relationship. I'm working on building up my social skills but it's a slow process. Once I feel confident enough in them then I'll revisit the whole decision to date.

So I can understand why you feel like you can't do/have them and it's something you can't change.
