Useless Human

You’re not useless, remember the dsm-5 states that autistic people require support. When I was at school, personal computers hadn’t been invented, the same as you, I’ve had to teach myself, it has varied success!

You mentioned in a previous post that you left school with no qualifications, you went on to get a degree, that’s definitely not being useless, that’s a massive success.

Online forms require filling out in an exact way, some will require a space in the middle of a postcode, some don’t. The payment area has a different box for Visa debit and credit, it’s very easy to get it wrong. Sometimes I just walk away and try again later.

I’ve moved my energy supply to Octopus, they do actually answer a phone with no robots and the staff are in the UK, I don’t like phones but they somehow make it easier.

I'm moving away from octopus, they may have people answering phones, and they make all the right noises and nothing changes. Their answer to everything is to send them a photo, I keep telling them I have no way of doing that which seems to make thier brains fizzle out, they can't get their heads around the idea that I don't have herds of people on tap to do things for me and they seem to have no alternatives to photos and other digital solutions. After it taking over a year to sort out a bill of 5k after a new meter was installed and the installer didn't register it, I still get the odd bill for that amount, because somebody hasn't read the file properly. I also think they're now underbilling us and we're building up a debt. They maybe the cheapest and the so called best, but not for me, I don't need this amount of hassle, nor do I need to be told I have to have a smart meter, get emails saying my old meter is getting past it's date and not telling me they want to install a smart meter and then giving me no other option. The materials our house is built from do not conduct wireless signals well and every device has to have a booster, the hub has a booster, the boiler and thermostat have one, we have a booster in the kitchen so as we can get wi-fi in the garage, out tv humax box has to be connected by a cable or we get no signal. I've explained all of this multiple times, they accept that a smart meter would be a problem in a house like ours, but they still don't get it. I'm sure I can't be the only one who's house is built from materials that don't conduct well.

To be honest wherever you go they will try and get you to have a smart meter, my house has stone walls, some are nearly 3ft thick, they fitted an aerial to the meter.
Im currently having the house rewired, the electrician is local and understands the houses, every room is being hard wired for broadband. That would be a bit extreme for you.
I own the cottage next door, that’s with EON and has an older meter, they keep trying to get me to have a smart meter, the old one is apparently obsolete. The problem with anything seems to happen when something doesn’t fit their pre designed system. 

I hope this doesn’t offend you.

Excellent, it didn't offend me at all and sums up how I feel about it.
