| Fair enough, I see what you're saying. Unfortunately for most of us our economic system doesn't really work in our favour. If you're doing all the right things as you've mentioned then ideally you should be able to afford the things you have mentioned. That's what we get told growing up, right? I'm ... |

| Just another example of a NT being jealous of how superior we are :P But more seriously, we could argue this night and day but the truth is conflict is unfortunately a significant part of relationships regardless of ASD being involved.

| I was diagnosed earlier this year at the age of 28. I must say I found it to be quite an underwhelming experience. There are psychologists that bulk bill if you're seeking a diagnosis.
