I want to snap out of my rut of functioning like a 12-15 year old, but I can't do it because I don't know the first steps. I also have executive planning issues, which I'm sure contributed to it. I left high school since, I didn't get to do any more formal education or experience, but I want to get my first employment as soon as possible. I can't decide or plan on what kind of job I want. I began to hate myself, but I realize that's irrational. I just don't know what to do. I feel like I function worse as an adult on most days than the more "typical" mild Asperger's Syndrome or high-functioning autistic. Also, I feel miserable and have constant anxiety about having to "please" and meet the standards of my personal CI/social workers. I really want to advocate to cut back hours or stop it altogether.
It's about self respect. Stand in front of a full length mirror and take a good look at yourself. That person standing in front of you deserves to be respected, and espouses that by being a respectable member of society who takes responsibility for themselves, and therefor exercises control over their own life.
