Societal support and pathway to improve lives and increase societal benefits as a whole

I had spent seven years creating a niche as a youtuber with 22k subs but that was part of the fall when 3-4 years ago i had a water leak which destroyed my system, prevented me from competing any more at a semi-pro level in  team sponsored by Razer. Combined with at the time losing most of my sight, having my driving licence removed and being unable to work due to severe disabilities as well, so it all came crashing down after a decade ago realising I was unemployable. Trying to work on something else as the falls always seem to freak me out and force be into a new area as the memories of the troubled work environments mentally forces me away from areas where i had years or decades of experience. Considering doing patreon & a reboot of youtube in some way for my remaining 20k subscribers and my 1400 video's on that platform.

Are you throwing yourself into the NT world or are you carving out your own niche?

As you say that selfishness may be the normal way of being, that was just one aspect of normies i could not understand & i shut down because i could not cope with the issues with dealing with them any more and the stress of pretending to be like them. Now i am hoping for a different way forward, I see a tunnel out of the dark room i have hidden in for the past decade and i'm hoping it's real and not a mirage, but i'm opening myself up to fail again, hiding in the dark was painful and just numb nothingness because the world was so much more painful to deal with. Seeing how it goes from here on in, fingers crossed.

I hear what you're saying  

I was stupid - I kept powering through thinking that I was the same as everyone else and I thought that they were all working for the common good too.    I was very wrong.

I got close on many occasions but the not understanding human emotions and motivations put me in a position which lost those positions and caused a complete and severe life reset. After three such resets I completely shut down until the other week when things lit up again, it has never been about me, i focus on the betterment of society and I can't understand the selfish short termism of other people which comes back time after time to bite me in the ass and destroy my stability thus decimating every aspect of my being. So my goal is to help prevent that with support for others and a system which prevents it from happening to myself again now that I know how autism can affect us and that it's real, rather than just feeling that something is so incredibly wrong with me and I can't put my finger on it ... now I know the reason & it's a real thing I can now rebuild where I am from a position of knowledge and understanding of the framework in which I exist.

I've found that most aspies I know have sort-of succeeded - in their own way.

I'm not sure they (or I) could have taken any more stress to do any better.   I'm one of those super-bright kids - very high IQ - i've done amazing things.

Why only choose one? Intervention decades ago would have helped and completely changed my life in a good way, but I and so many others are where we are, dwelling on a terrible past can't help other than be useful for helping others not to be in the same holes and find a way through, but the most important thing is the moment as the past does not exist currently.

But do you not feel that early intervention would have massively helped you?

I don't agree, i have been shut in my own mind not understanding the world for the past decade after giving up on the world because every interaction i tried failed. Two weeks ago i heard of Autism and realised the connection which opened a light into my darkened world & began pulling decades of problem pieces together into a framework which explained and underpinned every issue throughout my life. Opening the door to light & opportunity .. it is never too late to open the door & let the light of realisation in.

The key is catching them early enough and spotting their potential - that's the challenge.

Once they're screwed up, locked up and shut down, the opportunity is lost.     I think it's got to be pre-8 years old.

That's what I'm considering is, that with a fiscal plan to nurture aspies and help people develop and focus (like that's hard!) on things were good at to enhance our potential, which benefits not only ourselves but wider society with the knock on effects from what we can achieve.

As far as I can see, the support is treating everyone as total failures so anything up from there is a success - I don't think they even understand the concept that aspies can be encouraged to become extraordinary!

With enough early intervention and clever enough sponsor, the sky is the limit.
