Venting 4:44AM- Emotions - Autism Diagnosis

[AnimeSlayersFan]

I came to the realization that if I get my diagnosis in a few hours (havent been able to fall asleep yet, then, even though it will be a big relief for me to know I was right, I might still need to take drugs to function in neurotypical society and play social games, the thing I absolutely fucking hate to do, because I will need money to survive, there is no escaping this simple fact.
I fucking hate most people, I find them stupid and selfish and cruel and like fucking monkeys without a care in the world for good values, and that society won't value me for my true value, but for what bullshit I can conjure up in this godforsaken social shit game we all take a part of, I for the life of me don't wanna get sucked inti this shitty game of politics we call work, but isn't.
Work I can handle, the fucking people and politics of daily life drain my fucking soul away, and it never stops, I will probably fall asleep in a bit, later on imma wake up, wait for my diagnosis and then need to take drugs thrt harm me because without them I can't deal with this DOGSHIT world.
I hate that it it like this. I hate it.
If I could remember how to cry I'd be crying now...
Fucking peopeb

I'm anxious waiting for this, I slept like 4 hours today, and that was because time would pass faster if I was asleep lol.
16:37
Still nothing.

It seems I have both autism and adhd.
I don't really know what to make of it right now.
Damn, I was right.

 

[Remember]

If you don't want to deal with people I'd suggest trying to find a nightshift job, preferably at a warehouse or something. There's usually a lot less staff on nightshifts and the ones that are there are too sleepy to want to be social in my experience. Ideally you can try to get a job that lets you wear headphones so you can listen to audiobooks or something while working.

Also, damn Slayers is a good anime.

First of all, I LOVE that you are a fan of Slayers too Rem!
And I know don't really know what I wanna do with my life, like minute to minute, day to day, I don't understand ANYTHING now.
With the economy as it is too, finding work is gonna be hard for anyone, and I'm 5'3, small boned, autistic, and I have a defect where I'm missing my right pectoral muscle (Poland's Syndrome, it's quite uncommon, I recall when a doctor found out and even took a picture of it, cause he only studied that case but never seen it. We didn't notice up till much later on, because I was so slim it wasn't noticiable at first. But yea, it's a thing that limits the strength I have, so a warehouse would wreck me fast. It would be a nice job if I could find something to that matter though, but I just feel like I'm being dropped in, into a harcore world with 1HP, and I don't wanna make mistakes. I kinda wanna maneuver in this world well, but the natural way I do things is really offputting to other people, so, the age old problem of needing money, if I was rich, I could just deal with being a weirdo, but having nothing to my name, It's just a matter of like, navigating the world. And that's like really scary for me at the moment.
Like I don't know what the right way FOR ME would be to "play this game".

Should I embrace being autistic and tell people about that? That I'm bisexual? That I HATE the system? That I see how people are getting ripped off, how things are unfair?
But wait, If I tell them all that, will they buy my labor or goods? Or are they just gonna say "yea you are right" and go pick the sociopath businessman who blows perfumed air into their ears?

I don't have a framework on what to do, really, nothing.

 

[Remember]

It sounds like you have a rough situation. Maybe you can get work with a temp agency, it's not much but it's better than nothing. And sometimes working at those places you find a job you're really good at and get hired full time.

I find accepting and embracing yourself for who you are is the only way to live, if you're all those things I think you should be proud of your uniqueness. As far as how much of that you want to share, it really depends on the company.

There's a lot of people who will give you grace and be more understanding when they know you're autistic, but just as many who would discriminate against you for it! It's similar for being bi and hating the system of opression we live under, some will support it others will disdain it. I'd say you just need to find your people but I'm not the one to talk to about finding people that's for sure.

I got diagnosed with those last year. Learn as much as you can about it. I really recommend Kaelynn Partlow's videos and book.

Damn, I was right.
