@raging vortex Your dreams sound amazing! I'm sorry you struggle with social skills, and that you were told that you cannot work. It is easy sometimes to look at our limitations without also looking at our likes/desires, strengths, and ability to learn (self-efficacy). I didn't do so well in high school, though I knew I had the potential to work hard and earn A's in college, so I went for it and accomplished just that as an undergrad. Not everyone can do that though, but community college really helps those who didn't do well in high school and need extra help to get to the next step (you don't need to earn A's, but C's are required for most courses). Perhaps you cannot work full-time, but there are volunteer positions that you can see about doing, though that does require some level of social skills. Social skills could be learned in therapy, too. I try to figure out what I am capable of learning to do that is closely related to my dreams. For instance, if you like technical stuff like theme park engineering and computers, you could visit theme parks with friends and enjoy the rides while going to conventions for engineering or computers. Conventions tend to cost money and often involve travel, but it is one way to see what the engineers or computer professionals do, and the many different jobs they have - even entry-level jobs or jobs that might be within a range you can study for at a community college for starters. My sister had to get her GED since she didn't graduate from high school, and then she went on to an online college. If you don't have your high school degree, you can always do the GED and community college route. There were some peers I had met who had social skills problems, mental illnesses, etc., and they found support on campus. There is almost always a disability access center at every college campus, and most GED courses are offered for free at community colleges, depending on where you reside. If you reside outside of the US, I'm not sure what to recommend. But your dreams can always come alive in different ways, or be changed to new dreams of today. If you're unable to work at all, or unable to attend school for the same reasons as not being able to work, that's understandable. Nonetheless, you can always visit and enjoy amusement parks, watch shows that have to do with computer science, look online for any information regarding those areas to read about, etc. You may find that in your explorations there are other dreams that are attainable for you, despite a lack of social skills or any other disabilities.
