i don't think i am a stupid person, however in my inabilitie to deal/understand with "normals" in any real serious manner i have always picked "lower" jobs that require not as much understanding and more sweat--ie labor work , janitoral, hellish phone jobs..and have eventually fallen back to going on ssA. however the same i can hold very intellectual converasations with people. although as the years past i have become more and more jaded about alieviating my poverty and ever moreso pessimistic as to my own "liberation" from this damnable situation..i can only really equate this to some sort of social darwinism and a prejudice towards "autistics" in their varying forms.. to those on this board who have gained sucess despite their limitations, how does one truely overcome this? do i have to start wearing a badge that states that i am not ret*d? or for some of us is it to great a difficulty to overcome?

im on ssdi and its not that bad guy. i dont know how much you get, but its better than getting nothing at all. also maybe you shouldnt value your lifes worth on being a workaholic. ive had plenty of crap jobs so i guess this is something your going to have look at differently, goodluck

One of my favorite movies is GATACA. The guy is genetically disadvantaged yet thrives despite that. I particularly like the chicken-game swim scene towards the end of the movie.

im not tremendously materialistic and my social securitie is enough for me to live somewhat comfortably...when i get my housing subsidy i will be much moreso. maybe im just more hung up on societys judgement..but anyone with half a brain knows that society is full of excrement anyways .... thats the irony though is'nt it?

when my lease is up in 3 1/2 months im going to be faced with living on my own. i am prepared to live withought electricity and gas, ive done it before and that way alls i'll have to pay for is rent, water is usually included in there somewhere

i stopped caring when i was 25, and almost two years later its the best choice i have ever made

I can speak as another person who is devalued because of AS. It gets worse every job I get, and I've had too many of them. It's become a game -- how can it get worse? Then, I go, "Ohhh, I never thought of THAT." What's funny is, of all the people I know, I'm the only person with a 100% perfect track record for writing solid software that my users love. Objective measures don't matter, though.
