Autism
I learned I'm autistic at 28 years of age.
No wonder life's been so hard!

Same, anon. I realised when I started wage-cucking at that age and I could not stop sperging out, snapping, and babbling insecurities out loud. Ironically, I feel pretty normal and stable as a hermit NEET; because I am not perennially triggered by being forced to use phones and talk to fucking strangers all the time. As a result of that and the living hell of globalism and outsourcing to slaves for pennies, absolutely no attainable jobs are left for spergs like me to do. TFW no comfy back office job, or quasi-solo factory job, that never requires speaking that much to colleagues, and never requires to speaking to outsiders.

Same at 27, took some time for my family to acknowledge it but everything makes sense now

It's not just that tbf
It's those little stuff too like sensory overloads and being slow in certain aspects of life and being super fast in other aspects

You ever heard of that shit about how autists say they can "control the weather"? They'll say stuff like "it's raining because I'm sad"
It's not them with the weather, it's the weather *with* them

It's been cloudy all day where I'm at and holy shit, I can't function for the life of me
I've been taking painkillers for the past 16 hours

I'm not autistic but my recessed lower third screwed me in life
when you have a recessed lower third it makes you LOOK autistic or ND, people treat me like a pathetic child (because thats what my face looks like)
my inner self (a grown, confident man) doesn't match my appearance

double jaw surgery should be free

Trump cured autism, there's literally no excuse to be acting like a sperg in the current year.

they need to make a comprehensive autism spectrum classification
i find myself to be so superior in rationality and functionality to so many other autists that i cant believe that we share the same defect

Anon you have it the other way around, autists saying this have sensory issues with weather conditions without realizing it. I get really tired when it's cloudy usually. You can also smell moisture, like the strong scent in the air after it rains, which could in theory fuck with someone sensitive to smell.
>t. Diagnosed with Asperger's at 3.

It's probably the change in air pressure messing with your head.

Yeah, avoidance is an effective coping strategy.
My previous job was customer facing and was absolute hell. I've been NEETing for 3 years now.

>>82798397
Yeah, being autistic doesn't really change anything. It just explains things. Things make sense.

>>82798871
I tried methyl folate. It didn't change anything.
Not that I sperg out. Only as a child.

>>82798887
I agree.
Better classification might have avoided my missed diagnosis.

You don't have autism. I'm so sorry. Everybody and their dogs thinks they have autism now.

of course it does, changed how I view things in the past
y'know, now I feel it would've been better if I *didn't* know

same, i was diagnosed 2 years ago. my main problem, and only problem i think, is that i seemingly have no self-drive whatsoever. whenever i tell myself "i want x y z", i can't do it without forcing myself to do it, exhausting myself in the process. a shame too because i now live alone in an apartment with all the neetbux in the world to do whatever i want all day, but i can't manage to do anything. it's like i couldn't stop being bored even if my life depended on it. i can't even watch youtube shorts for more than 5 seconds without getting disinterested. otherwise, everything else is good. i have insane pattern recognition and visual memory, i got plenty of social crutches and i'm at least able to take care of my basic responsibilities. i just wish i did something else other than trying to find a way to do what i want all day. ironic, i don't even want to look for the way to do what i want, but i do it anyways because it feels necessary

Its because it's a fake disorder. Just an umbrella term for dysfunctional people that had shitty parents and some retards with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome that's why they're diagnosing everybody that isn't rich with that shit now.
