It's been a whole year or two since I last posted on this website.
Anyway, I came on here because I need some advice. Please don't go "Google is your friend" or "use Yahoo! Answers" because Google is not always reliable and Yahoo! Answers is dead.
As you see, I am diagnosed with Austism, ADHD and possibly Asperger's. I've been diagnosed since I was probably a preteen. I am sometimes perceive as being smart and very inteligent because of my knowledge with computers and certain technology. My mother passed away from cancer back in 2014 (which put a change in my life). I am 21 years old and is interested in becoming a public bus driver when I get older.
But the problem is that I am suffering from intrusive memories that always causes me to scream, hit myself, and walk around. These intrusive memories used to result in me destroying other people's property and threatening to hurt myself. I'm on three sets of medications but I don't think they are helping with my intrusive memory issue.
I am also starting to think my disability is starting to hold me back. I don't have any "real" friends because the "friends" I have never call me and acts like they are busy. I also want to get my own drivers license very soon because while I am very intelligent with riding the bus (even to the point where I am going on random joy rides on the bus), I want to know how to get to places very quickly and when I want to. But I don't want an issue where I cause an accident because of my condition.
But what I am thinking that may have something to do with my condition is the fact that my father was never in my life and that I was raised by a single mother. Having no father figure has been saddening me every since I was little and I'm thinking that's the reason for the social issues I have. And I do have therapist I see every Tuesday and have a Transitional Coordinator and a peer specialist.
Can somebody please help me and figure out what I can do? I really appreciate it.
