I can't focus

NAS71232

I've been told I'm autistic and have ADHD.

The other day, my mother told me the greengrocers asked her if I was autistic. I try to act normal, but I've had major head injuries and I can't focus on anything. It's getting worse as I age.

I don't understand autism and I really should try to study it. There are autistic people that can't function day to day and then there are autists that are CEOs of companies.

I don't know what my future is. I can see why people like me idealise suicide. 

I can do this if I had my own place. My mind goes around in circles. I wish I could just eventually live on my own and keep myself to myself. I'm not sure how to do that yet. I can't live in shared accommodation. I'm looking after my mother atm. She has carers and is well looked after. I look after her inbetween the two daily carer visits. I will always be there for her 100%. 

I have to prove read my posts on forums many times before submitting. 

I have ailments and I'm not well. I'm not sure if I should post this. I thought I'd share.

  • Some things I can focus on really good. Like a movie I recently watched. I make a threads about them on Reddit.

    Then I see a movie that I don't recognise like Magazine Dreams. I did'nt know that it existed. Half way through, I vaguely remember the scene at the restaurant, but I don't remember anything else. I asked ChatGPT when it was released and it said 2023. That's 2 years old.

    Maybe I haven't seen it and the deja vu is all in my head. In the back of my head, I remember watching it, but have no recollection.
