i have diagnosed autism, what does this likely mean for me realistically
>>33739845it's likely over
>>33739845>no girlfriend >no friends or very little>weird stares All. The. Time.>cashiers find you weird/threatening>job prospects = gg wp >sharks will prey on you to steal/sell/trick It's essentially a death sentence that you get to live every day for the rest of your life until someone finds you dead in your room, all alone.
>>33739871but that anon made it to adulthood and to the point of posting here, so he's not a child, and his autism is probably not that strong
>>33739901>>33739906>personality>lack of social skillsThose are literally problems tied to autism and high functioning autism. Are you sure you have autism? I feel like self-diagnosed autism is a cool thing these days.
>>33739861Correction: its DEFINITELY over.
Well you'll need to tell me who you diagnosed with the autism.
>>33739845A psych professor of mine once said - the utility of an adult autism diagnosis is rather pointless - in our country it doesn't open more funding or anything , at most I guess you can take some extra time for an exam? All it means is now you legally can't lie if an employer or someone in passing
>>33739901>>33739906>>33740030What even is autism anyway?
A life in which you are in a shell that no one sees but you.
>>33739845It doesn’t mean a thing.
Realistically the diagnosis will prevent you from getting some jobs assuming it's actually on the record but honestly dude you are going to be fine other then that.You will have less friends then most people though it's almost guaranteed.
Your life will have limits and it will be less than ideal. Accept the pain now.
>>33740043A couple different psychologists.
>>33739845There's a famous saying that when you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person. It affects different people in different ways. I can tell you some ways in which it *might* affect you, but I can't tell you how it *will* affect you.So, it may be that you will be less comfortable in unfamiliar situations than a normie would be; you may find it comforting to plan things in detail. You may find that you have trouble understanding other people's emotions: you may even have trouble recognising what they're feeling, or at least in understanding *why* they're feeling what they're feeling, and in predicting how people will react to what you say and do. You may sometimes misunderstand things, perhaps because you take things too literally. You may find that you get sensory overload easily - perhaps you may have trouble with loud noises, or strong smells. You may find it hard to maintain eye contact. You may find that you think in a more logical and less emotional way than others. You may be more comfortable with things being familiar than other people are; you might perhaps choose your meals from rather a small range of alternatives, or always dress the same way, or have only a small number of places that you go to over and over, where other people might be more adventurous; or you might need things always to be in the same place and get annoyed if they're moved. You may get very hyper focused on particular things or topics. You may find the rhythm of a conversation difficult and not know when it's your turn to speak.Stuff like that.

>>33747571>>33747587parasites cause autism
>>33747772No, they don't. You're just a retard that has fallen for pseudoscientific garbage.
>>33739901>if you werent autistic you would use your height as an excuse or smthn.to be fair height and autism are correlated, manlets are more often than not some level of autistic. it's part of their curse, since it makes it harder for them to overcome the already debilitating social effects of their short stature.
>>33739845Work out if you're the type of autist with all of the negatives and none of the pro's or not.
>>33739845It means you should go buy yourself a lego set like a fucking adult.
