    Why does it seem like everyone doesn't want me to pursue my special interest?

    Only if you're using a Medicaid based provider.

    Why does it seem like everyone doesn't want me to pursue my special interest?

    Pretty much every injury I had as a child was brushed off because " deh autism". My parents didn't know they just believed the stupid doctor. My scoliosis wasn't diagnosed until I was 15 and even then it was just kind of brushed off. But seriously I don't know how they would have kept little...

    Why does it seem like everyone doesn't want me to pursue my special interest?

    Yes, but I also paint... Usually my special interest. And when my scoliosis is not acting up, I sew. I would do it more often if my machine did not feel heavier than plutonium.

    Why does it seem like everyone doesn't want me to pursue my special interest?

    I never could ride a bike without falling off. I can't walk far due to my back and knee injury and don't have a dependable way to get to a doctor about having them fixed. Medicare buses only cover rides their providers... And you have to wait till everyone else on the bus it's finished with...

    Lift won't come out here. When I say rural, I mean rural.

    Why does it seem like everyone doesn't want me to pursue my special interest?

    The lack of a driver's license, a knee injury, a back injury (I can't get to the doctor to get them treated until I get my driver's license since I can't depend on anyone to take me anywhere. There is no public transport in this town). And most vet schools won't even consider you until you have...

    Why does it seem like everyone doesn't want me to pursue my special interest?

    So exactly what am I supposed to do?

    Why does it seem like everyone doesn't want me to pursue my special interest?

    I need driving lessons live in the middle of nowhere. I have to depend on my mother or case worker to take me to them (since the driving teacher refuses to pick me up at my house). But neither one of them are reliable. My mother is not a good driving teacher. If I make one mistake, she freaks...

    Why does it seem like everyone doesn't want me to pursue my special interest?

    Becoming a veterinarian is my main special interest. Particularly an exotics veterinarian. I'm not crazy about dogs. they are nice but they are just not my favorite kind of animal or something I would personally have as a pet. I would rather have a ferret or kinkajou. Loving animals is not a...

    Autism and Willpower

    I personally only have the willpower to complete and do things that I wanted to do in the first place. I do not have will power to do something someone else wants me to do. And I can't be bribed with treats into doing something I don't want to do. I never had ABA as a kid (lived too far out in...

    Untangling multiple diagnoses - what is causing what?

    I would not be "depressed" if someone would actually take the time to help with what I'm depressed with. I would not be "anxious" if someone would explain things to me clearly And I wouldn't have a knee injury if I stayed indoors constantly as a child and just sat around watching television...

    Autism and accents

    As I've gotten older, people have told me I have a bit of a United States Southern accent. I don't live in the south, I live near Cincinnati Ohio. I did spend two years in San Antonio Texas, but I don't recall anyone there having any particular Southern accent. My dad has his own unique...

    Is schizoid personality just an outdated term for autism?

    Back when Quizilla was a thing. Basically just a website where people could make their own personality quizes. There was one for what personality disorder you had. I would always get Schizoid. Quiz didn't have autism as an option. But then it's not a personality disorder. But then it wasn't a...

    What do you do about people who won't accept your special interests?

    I've always noticed that NT's are ALLOWED to be pushy with their interests. And the person in question I originally posted about is autistic too. They used to share special interests …or at least claimed too. There was this one guy I grew up with who my mom always suspected was on the...

    Do you ever get told you don't ask enough questions?
