I think dropping out from school combined with having an ADD/ADHD brain has made me lack a solid direction in life.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It feels weird though. I dabble in this and that but rarely focus intensely on anything.

Have you ever thought of applying for a needs assessment through your local authority.
anyone can request a need assessment and the local authority have a legal obligation to one out if requested.
it may result in social intervention that can assist you in applying for benefits, support in finding suitable housing, extra support and employment support.
it can even result in help with getting you back into education through grants and funding schemes that may entitle you to attend college and fund extra support in college.
Roswell I am twenty four and awaiting an ADHD assessment that the professional who diagnosed me with autism requested and I completely understand where you coming from. You want to do something but you have no clue if your capable of doing it without breaking down and have no idea where to start.
I have had a need assessment and the outcome has been semi positive and I am finally getting the advice and support I need to become independent. I think most people who come from stable backgrounds take for granted the advise, encourage and support their parents give them when they hit adulthood.
Plastic advice on this forum is always encouraging and supportive, I would take his advice, he seems to be the great sage of autism.
