At least you're not destroying nations or mass murdering people!

Hey Askildsen. Sorry you're feeling so down.
I think how you view your future outlook is just not true! You know, I think some people with autism reach out to groups and stuff where they come together and provide support and community. There are women who are more like you than you would think in the world, some with autism, some without it.
I watched a documentary called Autism in Love and it was about autistic couples. It was really sweet.

Also, all the individuals with autism in that documentary (except one young one) had good jobs!
