    Autistics have the tenacity of limpets when it comes to shizzle they feel passionately about. (My English teacher got a taste of this when I handed in a 20 page essay on Duran Duran in 82 ha ha)

    Amma right, Len?
    But it's still ok to challenge them when it gets intolerable for the person having to live with them.

    Of course it is, but if you're talking about the NT/autistic dynamic, then I'd argue (from personal experience) that it's not always the autistic person that's causing the problem...

    Pulisa has a point. Might it not be worth focusing on the present and making a life for yourself in the here and now.

    I always say it, you always ignore it, but why not look into getting out into the world a little more? You'd be invaluable to somewhere like the British Heart Foundation, who sell second-hand electronics.

    This is true, Nora, but we don’t live with him

    Wow, you're unpleasant.

    You're not automatically entitled to people's attention and support. I think this is something that a lot of autistic men in particular never learn, their mindset is static because nobody's ever expected them to grow emotionally or make any sort of effort to get on with others.

    It's a disability, not an excuse.

    I just wish I was sectioned or sentenced to imprisonment for once and for all. Especially as I've been told I'm unpleasant.

    Then I'll be out of sight, out of mind and won't be a hindrance to society any longer.

    In fact, I won't even be posting on this forum any longer and I'm naffing off for good.

    See you all, Bye!

    I was in my 30s before I was able to get more than temp or contract work, Lenco, despite going out of my way to get myself qualified for a specific role.

    Happiness is out there, and fulfilment, but not if you bury yourself in old resentments and refuse to engage with the world.

    I also note that you seem to have minimal tolerance for the health conditions and foibles of others.

    Not always, I agree, but Lenco refuses to accept responsibility for his own actions, and then we get this sort of drama if he is challenged.
