I don't know how I'll ever be able to support myself. Like a few other anons in here, I'm autistic - though I've got a diagnosis, I've never used it for anything and am never forward about having it, even if it'd probably help to do so. I like to think I'm reasonably well adjusted (certainly more than I was in school) but I know that people can tell. I dropped out of highschool, trade college once, university once, went back to university, transferred majors three times. I feel that I'm too fickle to get good enough at anything for it to be something I can be paid for, and yet all I desire is to be skilled at something - and have people recognise and admire that skill. It might sound dumb, but please understand that everyone has looked down on me with pity for my whole life due to my diagnosis. I just want to be good at something. And maybe not have to interact with people irl, that'd be nice. I'm halfway through my 20s and if not for my partner I'd almost certainly have wandered off into the woods to die by now.
