I can't take this lifestyle anymore. I'm 25 years old and my life has been on total hold for the past 3 years. My old friends all have stable jobs and promising careers, some are even starting to get engaged, while I'm here spending my entire days behind a screen doing fuck all.

I'm autistic, so I know life will be hard for me out there in the real world. But I'd rather keep trying.

Maybe I am being delusional, but I already regret wasting these past 3 years. If I waste even more time, I can't imagine how much regret I will be drowning in by the time I'm 30.

25 years old, autistic and ADHD, no friends, never been in a relationship, never worked a day in my life, don't have a license, dropped out of uni 2 years into my degree because of burnout, self isolated for the past 3 years.

I was lucky enough to make a decent amount of money online in my early 20s that sustained me until now, but I'm down to my last few Ks.

Recently I've started to wake up a little and want to change. I've gotten pretty jacked, signed up to get my driving license and applied to a few jobs which I probably will never hear back from.

I want to make some friends but socializing is pretty impossible for me because I have the brain of a 15 year old, which creeps people out due to the uncanniness of it.

At this point I'm starting to wonder if it's even worth trying anymore. I kinda have this mental deadline until I reach 30yo. If things don't seem any brighter then, I might just call it.
