    Is being underemployed or struggling to get into a career that pays enough to support oneself, common for people on the autism spectrum?

    @Mary Terry To be clear, I think your suggestions are right. I just wonder how I can get better results than what I’ve gotten before.

    Is being underemployed or struggling to get into a career that pays enough to support oneself, common for people on the autism spectrum?

    Well, I actually did take community college courses, both in person and online. I also made attempts to socialize as well as inquired about clubs. I’ve never attended courses for what is considered a university here in the US. My parents actually said they were only prepared to potentially help...

    Past determining my future

    I was considering the possibility of accepting that I will remain single for the rest of my life but I just can’t do it. I am too psychologically attached to the desire to have someone special in my life.

    Is being underemployed or struggling to get into a career that pays enough to support oneself, common for people on the autism spectrum?

    I flunked out of college and only work part time at the age of 37. Apparently that isn’t a good thing.

    Past determining my future

    Are you asking about my biological parents? If so, my mother would be the only realistic option. My father doesn’t live with in the area anymore (He and my mother divorced many years ago.) and he actually dismisses me as a person. He actually made fun of me because he still get dates at his age...

    Past determining my future

    My siblings keep getting to experience different events with their spouses as well as their kids. Whenever a new family photo comes up on the family text feed, I am not in it. I wonder if I, along with a girlfriend or wife, will ever appear in one?

    I am also worried I am getting too old to have dreams about romance and intimacy.

    How can I feel hopeful after feeling like I haven’t made any progress this year?

    Nice! How or where did you see it? I thought it was showing on the 29th through Cinemark. EDIT...

    Nice! How or where did you see it? I thought it was showing on the 29th through Cinemark. EDIT: Realized I was wrong about the release date. I had it mixed up in my memory with something else.

    What am I doing wrong or not doing at all?

    What can I say to my self from 20 years ago?

    I often get flashbacks to my past self when I was 17 and sad I didn’t have a girlfriend while most of the other guys at school did. I wish I could tell him things will get better and that he won’t live the rest of his life alone but I am still struggling with many of the same issues even 20...

    I have troubles just even getting a date in the first place.

    Self loathing.

    You aren’t alone in feeling like this. I don’t think you have nothing to contribute, though, and you don’t bother me at all.

    I also don’t know if relationships start after a single date or if it takes more than one.

    Getting more socially isolated

    It’s a mixture of both feelings.

    My best doesn’t appear to be good enough.

    Getting more socially isolated

    I would appreciate it if the discussion on religion were taken elsewhere. The point of this thread is about social isolation. Apparently cafes are supposed to be a better place to socialize than bars or even standard restaurants but in my experience, cafes are no different from either place.

    Getting more socially isolated

    That is not objectively true. I’ve had bad social experiences with other autistic people in person and they often had meltdowns over extremely trivial things. We are still human like NTs are. Humans are not ducks nor tigers so it’s not a good choice to compare ourselves to them. There have...

    Past determining my future

    Why is it apparently a bad thing to feel sad about your life situation? I think I have good reasons to feel low about how I am still struggling to break out of social isolation and finally achieve my dreams.
