why wont life get better

As you have youth on your side it may be easier for you choose whether or not to care about what people think , at your age I think I also didn't care what others thought. For me as I got older and symptoms got worse I found it very difficult not to care. I am also covered in tattoo's, piercings and have wierd hair but I'm sure I use it as a mask , it gives me a reason why I think people stare at me , before tattoos I couldn't work out why people stared.

That's interesting. I find that I care much less know than when I was younger, and that seems to be common amongst those I know, too.

That is interesting. I haven't been diagnosed so may not have ASD. Even though I finds things worse as an adult I've shaped my life to involve as little social interaction as possible so I don't feel it as often but it's definately worse..

This is me speaking for what worked for me.

In all honesty I am not sure whether passing for a neurotypical is possible, it is something I can keep up for a few days but ultimately one way or another my inner aspie is revealed as someone gets to know me a bit more. Honestly one thing which has worked for me is to participate with people in conversation when I have something to say. It allows me to go out of my shell and momentarily escape being the quietest person in the room. This is not guaranteed to let a friend fall into your arms but in all honesty what this really helps me is to adjust myself around people and make aquiantances. Anyways you don't always need to pass for a neurotypical maybe it would be good to try and be yourself, people will percieve you as someone comfortable in their own skin which believe it or not many people actually like and respect, this doesn't mean behave autistic since they may not work but if you do the odd habit there and there its no big deal and don't always try to surpress it.

If you want life to get better you might start with being a more effective worker--doing the stuff you are suppose to do--while not raising the expectations of what your co-workers have to do.

Sometimes this is a matter of sorting through the lies your bosses tell you.

If your not in ABA then who is teaching this to you. I've never really understand why other people's thoughts matter, though. If they think I'm eccentric. Or creepy. As long as they aren't going to be violent about it why does it matter? I don't understand maybe self employment might be better for you. Maybe selling stuff on ebay.

no

I apologize than.

People can also choose whether to be happy or miserable as well. I choose happiness myself.
