I have a big ~~beak~~

I'm half dyslexic, and reading & writing were by far my worst subject in school.

My mental issue is autism.

High functioning of course but still disabliing enough to qualify for disability.

Which I hate being on but still oppression points!

Ehhh I really don't know if I'm autistic

Not as bad a chrischan's, right?

I don't know if I'm high functioning or simply don't have it, because if you're born with autism, you don't know how It's like to not have it.

Never got that checked

I've been trying to get a job for nine years and I have been denied without an interview every single time. So I'm trapped living off dsibility which I loathe every second of being on.

Not because I'm morally opposed but because it's not enough and they won't let you be frugal. If you build up too much they cancel on you.

Oh well that's actually pretty fucked

Sorry about that

People insist I am screwing up the interview. Insane since I have never even gotten one.

Sorry this is ignorant, but how do you tell the difference between someone who doesn't have autism and someone who has it moderately high functioning?

I'm not trying to be edgy I really don't know

Well there can be trouble with social interaction.

Also trouble controlling your anger.

Issues understanding other people's perspectives.

Obsessive tendencies with getting very obsessed and focused into one task at the expense of other things.

Some of this can be managed or eliminated with practice. Some really can only be dulled but still will be there

I have all of those....

Well this has been eye opening, Emma.

You're probably never going to fix the obsessive part.

Anger might always be an issue.

Part of why it qualifies for disability

This particular form used to be called aspergers.

But they actually merged that into general autism.

They like to use the fancy term autism spectrum but that's just to differentiate it with low functioning autism. The people who can barely function at all.

I must be high-functioning then, the most anyone has ever insulted me on my social skills before was "You're a bit awkward sometimes"

No one has called me Autistic

@Rotful You're autistic

I can tell you've been vaccinated

Please find jesus

Hello?

hello

What's up?

I was brought up a Christian but I eventually abandoned it lol

My profile pic makes everything I say seem half-assed, autistic, and sarcastic.

I could be not autistic at all and nobody would know

oh @Repzion Did you hear that Bernie said he wanted to work with Trump
