People with Asperger's tend to have trouble with independent living. They will either have to live with someone all of their lives or go through assisted living training from a life coach or something in order to get good enough practice to live on their own successfully. Some succeed, others fail, but it is the effort that actually counts.
In my case, I've lived with my parents my whole breathing life. I have never wanted to leave simply because everything works and it is extremely convenient. I try to help out when I can, I complain a lot but thats because my brain messes up and I get frustrated so I lash out. I pretty much have paid for everything I own with my own money, except for Christmas presents given to me by others. I have never been able to hold down a job, but I have made it work by finding ways to make money, whether it be an online business, or writing articles. I live a quiet life, and I prefer it that way.
I haven't had success in relationships because I do not settle. I don't have the luxuries that other people have. I do not have my own car, I do not pay car insurance, and I do not have a real job. I have nothing to offer a female other than my sharp wit and sense of humor. It takes an awesome female to look past materialism and just go for the person for who they truly are.
I have no understanding of paying bills, or life insurance or anything of those means. I just wake up every day, live my life, go about my daily routine and just make things happen. I live a care free life and until I move out and get the necessary training required for me to live a healthy independent life, then it will continue at the pace it is at right now. I want a relationship some day and to be able to live in a nice apartment, but I will need money in order to do that which means I will have to be able to get a nice job and show that I can take care of myself. But due to my disability, it sometimes seems like it is not in the cards and that I was not supposed to be like everyone else. I guess that could be a good thing, but then again, I want to be "normal" whatever that means. But now that I think about it, I guess I should be proud of who I am, I'm making the best out of what I currently have, it might not be much, but it works for me. Someone will understand that some day and accept me and also, my life will turn out how it should over time. I just need to be patient.
