Hello all; I’m 21 years old and I’m on the spectrum. Last two years I’ve been struggling to deal with myself and my behaviour has gotten really bad, I’ve started to get really aggressive and defensive over it and I can’t keep control of myself during difficult times and places. I’m reaching out for some help as I can’t carry on the way I’m going. I feel the label of Autism is taking over my life when I should embrace it and not let it get in the way of everyday life. I need to take action to improve my wellbeing and overall happiness, what steps should I take to move forward?
Important question is why.
After a few close calls I've concluded being in environments where I'm expected to function as a neurotypical for more then a couple of hours I become unstable and a danger to those around me. Hence my name here and related project helping other's establish ways of working from an environment they can control.
Early days in this, but if it does interest you this is my youtube channel.

I assume this is reference to learning from a qualified person. I wouldn't ask my doctor to fix my computer either, does not mean I'm leaving my doctor.
One last chance !....Did you not say " do not go to a therapist for mindfulness....but rather go to a qualified buddhist"?
So youre advising vulnerable people, to not go to a therapist...how are you even qualifed to advise this?
