Just quit.
I know there are all sorts of reasons you don't want to do that, but they all boil down to fear of the consequences. But will the consequences be worse than death?
Just quit and see what happens. You can always kill yourself later. |

I'm not a great writer but I think this holds true for any artistic endeavor:

Agreed. Local meet-ups would be cool; a national event would be too. |

| Not sure exactly where Odessa is, but your opportunities will be multiplied many times over if you can relocate to some place like Dallas or Austin. Both places would probably be more tolerant of those who are "different" and there would definitely be a wider range of work available. Working on an o... |

| I love drawing. It is very therapeutic. I have never taken an art class or anything, just decided one day to see if I could make art, and ever since it has been one of my special interests. I especially like using pastels, oil and chalk, because I like being able to draw a picture in one sitting and... |

| I had a sibling die when I was about 10 yrs old. It didn't seem like it f****d me up all that much at the time but now I realize it was sort of a defining experience for my whole personality.

| Government, especially the federal government, is a good place for aspies to work. When your boss or whoever gets pissed at you for being yourself, you cannot be summarily fired or even generally mistreated the way you can in the private sector. If you work for a govt agency, there may well be an EE... |

| I am in my 30s with no children, and a couple of years ago I elected to get a vasectomy so my wife would not have to worry about birth control. (At least when she has sex with me, ha ha.)
