>>1033023I'm currently in the process of a adult autism diagnosis and I'm about to turn 30.
Been NEET for 15 years almost, never had friends, haven't been able to get drivers license because I get overwhelmed by everything going on around me. I can't go out in loud places because peoples voices hurt my brain. I never go anywhere unfamiliar, basically a shut-in aside from going to the gym (it's near my house and I walk there).
My parents always knew something was wrong with me but they never bothered getting a 2nd opinion and just let it go hoping I'd grow out of it.
For me it's a genetic thing, not so much upbringing/environmental, because my siblings are all successful normies. My mum always said I was extremely different to my siblings even as a baby. I didn't speak until I was like 3, just made grunting sounds, had a lot of speech issues growing up as well.
>b-but you can't type on 4chan dat means you can work.Typing on here is literal the only "skill" I have, I've spent nearly 20 years online just posting, it doesn't translate to real world skills/ability. I can't even function around other people near me, my brain just stops working. I also have a low IQ (tested by a specialist recently). I take 100's of hours to learn how to do something and even then I'm horrible at it, meanwhile a normal person takes 1 hour and is good at it.
Feels bad man, my parents & doctors they took me too pretty much fucked my life up by not getting an early intervention. I fell through the cracks.
I'll probably stop looking in this thread, knowing it'll be filled up with "HAHAHA KYS OP FAGGOT" but thanks for making an attempt to cheer me up.
