Do you have a diagnoses of Aspergers and/or any other issues? Like documented by a doctor? You could potentially qualify for SSI if you really can't hold a job longer than that. That would bring in some income, and you can apply for subsidized housing or qualify for buildings with low income rates.

Newton probably found inventing calculus uncomfortable; a great deal of stress was experienced by Crick and Watson in discovering DNA; the American founding fathers experienced perpetual threats from the natives.

NOTHING can be achieved in life without discomfort.


Maybe that last one there isn't a great example....I don't think what happened to the Native Americans is any kind of accomplishment.


The creation of America was the greatest political achievement in history, regardless of what unfortunate sacrifices had to be made to create it.
