Hi I have autism too, mild to moderate. I am very close to your age and not independent. I like your story. How I speak and behave is at a 14-15 year level.

Hey mikie, welcome to wrong planet. I myself am a "country boy" of sorts, I don't necessarily follow the culture, but I live in a town of ~8 thousand that's at least 400 miles away from a big city. We do ranching and some agriculture here, so I certainly know about country type lifestyle. Knowing the types of people that are in towns like ours, I know full well the bullying you were subjected too-- it must have been doubly rough being partially deaf, and grats on getting through it with a positive attitude still in tact.

Also, who says there's anything wrong with Disney? A person that can't enjoy a Disney film isn't being "adult" they're just anti-fun. At 34 (soon to be 35) I still watch a cartoon here and there, they are appealing to my eyes. Don't let anyone invalidate your tastes by calling it childish-- you like it, that's all that matters.

Anyhow, enjoy your time here, and I look forward to reading your posts.

Hello sir. Welcome to Wrong Planet, I hope you enjoy it here.

With multiple disabilites (including ADHD) though I am doing fantastic compared to almost dying at birth.

You said some really lovely things there mikie.

You're respectful, you like to be kind, you never make fun of people, and you don't let your disabilities beat you down. Those things are all plenty mature.
