i am not depressed or anything, but i just don't care about what's going on around me. i want to be left alone and let me handle things on my own. i don't want to use my aspergers as a excuse why i can't do things. i was fine doign things before i found out i had aspergers and i just want to be treated like a person who doesn't have it.

i don't want to work with my support workers because it makes me feel like i can't do anything. i can't work full time because i have a worker 3 days a week so i can't make the money i need to support myself. how am i supposed to take care of myself and save money when i can't work more then 1 day a week.

It reads as if you are depressed, or at least heading there. Why do you have a worker 3 days a week? What does this person do?

these people are there to help me with day to day stuff. but i wasn't giving a chance to try and do it on my own before someone should up. as soon as i was diagnosed with aspergers, my mom wanted every little thing given to me that was offered. i was doing fine till i was diagnosed. so why change it.

It's good you are trying to do things the normal way. Some people find the easy way out. But if it gets too much and too stressful, then go the easy way. That is what the label is for.
