Yeah so I'm failing out of school again.

ed from life.

Okay, yes, it sounds bad. But . . . if it was playing poker tournaments*, eleven failures in six years would be no big deal. And same or similar conclusion for many athletic endeavors. It's only school that the whole system seems to build such high expectations.

And you can contribute here and in many other places. Maybe not in the formal 'normal' corporate world, but maybe so, and I think a lot of people other than on the spectrum have trouble fitting in that narrow world. And I'd probably hate and loath a call center, too.

With the physical injuries and with being on the spectrum, hopefully you can get SSI. I understand it's a long process and you may need to hire a lawyer. Okay, so be it, you can do that.

(*and I mean this with all respect. I have gotten a lot from poker, including and especially social skills and broader life skills. Even though it can also be a hurtful subject because I was trying to make it as a professional player in '06 and '07, and I was lucky to break even, with some real low times)

Did you ask your school's disability office if you could get a speech to text accommodation to help you with work?

And while you have insurance, maybe see about getting some help for your shoulder and stemming. I don't' think it's good to throw out your shoulder.

Why is someone who is over 80 years old worried about school?
