He was a lazy SOB and he had problems; ADHD and he seemed aspie like and he might have been schizo my mom says. Just his thinking patterns and the things he thought. He was basically like a kid than a 20 year old so it was like he was a kid instead of my bf and I was the parent so that sure showed me how teens are lot of work. My current bf says to me sometimes "No wonder you wanted to put him in diapers" and he says he was a big baby. I used to think he might have had AS but I kept being told by my aspie buddies and regular buddies he was just an as*hole.


I don't really want to pay for things like groceries etc... I just want to spend everything on my special interests, so I can understand him in a way. Maybe he had AS. He definitely doesn't sound NT, anyway. If it's anything NT people are generally lightyears better at than aspies, it's being economical and rational about money. A common aspie trait is actually the inability to use money wisely. Those who think all aspie problems are about "being bullied out of work/losing jobs etc" are very wrong. There's a lot more and aspies wouldn't be "superhumans" if employers and work colleagues were just rational robots without social needs. That's just another excuse many aspies use to feel better about themselves. I know my own problems wouldn't end with others being robots. My special interests and lack of interests in many fields in general make me unproductive as well as prone to irresponsible behaviour with money. I'm definitely not the only one. I would really prefer to just have a butler pay all the bills and buy all the groceries for me while I went shopping for clothes.

For aspies and those who can't cope with developing relationships or living with others...I think it's important for them to have as much money as they can obtain. To live in our own world and to obtain the things we need in order to prevent ourselves from stress and meltdowns requires lotsa money. If we can't have social skills then we could get money to help us develop some relationships.

So anyone who says money can't buy you happiness...well you maybe wrong on that. For people like me...having a lot of money is essential in order for me to live in a calm environment where I am not compelled to be miserable, suicidal, angry, or violent. I can have what I need when I need it and I will not lose my mind if I have money.

That says it all right there.
