First of my subject header is not 100% correct as I know the lines between Autism Aspergers ASD are very blurred.

My post regards functioning levels and how they impact on our emotions.

I know many people here can not hold down a job.
For five years nor could I and then when I learned how to keep a job it took me many more years to throw off the bullying.

Having a job and having a foot in the door of the NT world all I feel is stress I feel useless that I can not progress into a higher paid job and I feel worry that I will not be able to carry on working as I get older as all I can do is manual jobs.

So in short I function higher than when I was younger but I still feel every bit as useless as I did when I was younger.
I still suffer from the stress and any success I get I worry that I can not keep it up and make it last.

I don't mean my message to be negative as I am pretty sure most people in life are not happy most of the time.
The message I want to get across is people with Aspergers are autistic too.

I am proud to be part of such decent group of people.

Well said. Whatever label they give it, how it impacts your life is what matters. There are a few people here I have always felt I really relate with and you are one of them. Always wishing the best for you in your many struggles.
