He has no friends, no peers that understand him. Even as his family we struggle to understand often, as he sees things very differently from us.
Yet he does it, every week day without fail.
On the weekends he plays with his dog and does his own laundry.
He is 10.....10!! And Autistic!
Crawl out from under the bridge, and join the military. If you need your life organised for you.
Also no one will befriend or socialise with someone who just takes and takes. At some point you need to give something back or you are going to be very very alone.

That's nice but this is not about "doing laundry". I have a blockage with people to the point that things between us get into a huge conflict and they distance from me even though I try hard to fix it. People just get distanced from me whatever I am doing it seems. It is just weird going into the kitchen to cook and being silent or saying things which get no response.
I do the practical things myself, that's not the point. I do "give back" as far as I know. Mostly though my relationships don't get to any deep level.
And obviously making mistakes has not been fruitful, it just makes it worse because I don't often see what is wrong..
Why just make sweeping assumptions?
