Why is everyone only talking about autists having problems with social interaction, but I very rarely see someone talking about the real problems, like motor issues and sensory issues.
And when they are talking about social interactions, they only talk about some bullshit like social cues and nonverbal communication, but I literally don't know how to talk. I don't even know how to write. I planned and wrote this post for like two hours.
I usually just say "yes" or "no" and sometimes even that's too tiresome and I just nod.

It took me more than half a year to learn how to ride a bike. I look very weird when walking. I can't do many jobs because my hands are just retarded. I need several hours to build a computer. I can't even imagine replacing something in a phone. I'm drinking only from bottles because I spilled so much water in my life, but I still spilling it sometimes on myself when drinking.
Sometimes I need to control myself to not go into animal rage mode when the temperature slightly changes or I'm lying in bed at the wrong angle or when someone starts talking in the next room. Luckily my prefrontal cortex almost always saves me, the worst that happened was me starting to bite my phone and destroying the screen when I was 15.
But when someone is mowing the lawn, I'm imagining myself jumping out of the windows on them and killing them. Same when someone turns on lights in my room/office.

I don't even care about getting a gf anymore. I just want to survive.
How do I even survive?

And no, my family doesn't care, they think I'm lazy fatfuck playing video games in my room all day.
I'm 27 years old and I have not-stable low-paying job right now and no friends.

I was unemployed for 3 years and probably it's going to happen again.

Because among the aspergers/high functioning part of the population there's a sizeble amount of people that have fairly mild motor and sensory symthoms, but still have social issues. I've been told several times I run a little funny and I'm more irritable to certain sounds than most people, but that's it really. Possible some of it was mitigated by parents forcing me into piano and figure skating at an early age.

Some of the social stuff gets significantly better with practice too (even though normal people get it without practice).

put two and two together, genius. people that honestly struggle for 2 hours to write a forum post aren't going to be posting to try and get help. like imagine you see this and respond, that's already 4 hours gone, and if you need a follow up to that part, you've spent six hours (1/4 a day) in a three post sequence

that is nothing something people who have that problem are going to sit around figuring out, isn't that obvious?

I'm not OP.
Things take time, dickface. _Everything_ takes time. As an autist who's also a slow learner, I am sick of the whole maximising time scam that normalcucks perpetuate, because frankly, do you really need to spend every second worrying about not wasting every second? Is that living or is that just constant planning and stress? You tell me.

>Is that living
Yeah, it is, because it requires agency, as opposed to passively letting the chemical processes in your body go on until you die.
