Your brain works fine. Mine is fucked
Notice how you're able to befriend a security guard and make connections with others? I'm Autistic. It's never been easy for me to do this, and people generally don't try to understand me when I tell them I have a condition. Nice try faggot.
>low effort cop out excuse
aww boo, there's nothing wrong with your brain, you just need the right opportunity to put your skills and strength to the test. i'm sure you could be more successful than everyone you've ever knew if you just tried
>when I tell them I have a condition
don't then. many people have them and still work because they can't choose not to. what's your excuse now?
? How many people are we talking? the employment rate for Autistic people is abysmal.
i got kicked out of 3 places when i went in asking for jobs because they interpreted my autism as being on drugs. i was only recently homeless so i still looked clean and everything too. fuck off
you must be a fucking weirdo because usually latino laborers have connections with other latino laborers and shack up together 10 deep in a 2 bedroom house. Knowing english isnt even a requirement to work as a laborer. Also, call centers pay way less then construction, certainly not enough to afford an apartment.
Really though, you're just a white normie that made this shit up to try and shame autisitc weirdos on r9k
>How many people are we talking? I'd discard any diagnosis about mental illness i'm ever given because not only the terminology they use to test people is ambiguous to the point it is absurd, pharmacological companies profit off making you believe you're sick, hence the rational thing to do is distrust those bitches altogether. You're as capable as every other person on the planet, honey, it's time to start believing in yourself! You're probably better equipped to succeed than someone who doesn't even speak english to begin with

assuming for a moment this larp is real, why would you do all this just to go and post on this shit board?
Maybe, but only maybe, because not everyone is like you. I know that sounds ridiculous.
I can't fucking work in a construction site. And also I would like to hear the story of your boss from there. Clearly they worked as hard as you did, right?
And also nice fanfiction
enjoy homelessness then, bitch
i rarely come on r9k i actually started browsing Any Forums for /lit/ and /ck/ i just discovered r9k recently and after reading nothing but whining and first-world problems i decided to share my experience with you. you're all wonderful people, but you've been brainwashed to believe you're trash and that breaks my heart. i've always had a soft spot for people like that
im not homeless anymore
ive suffered more than you and am now situated in a better position in life than you too lol
>english-spanish dictionary
Stopped reading there. Don't care about you anymore.

>im not homeless anymore

>ive suffered more than you
i wonder how you came to that conclusion but okay. not that suffering is something to brag about, it isn't
>and am now situated in a better position in life than you too lol
i don't doubt it, my dear first-world child. i wish you the best
i'm mexican and my second language is english. just in case your got it wrong. bless you, user
No, I got it right. I have dismissed your post because of your race.
>racist
