I have average IQ and low EQ. My diagnosis is High Functioning Autistic. I failed becoming a writer, an influencer, a lawyer. That is hard truth, and I am still in denial to a great extent. Determining if someone is good or bad is subjective. Someone's hero is another's villain. Determining if someone is successful or unsuccessful is objective. Ask me anything.
Thank G-d and my parents I am provided for. Tens of millions of people who are similar to me yet have no safety network fall very hard.
Thank G-d and my parents, I was provided resources which enable me to live a normal and satisfactory life despite my problems. Tens of millions of people with similar limitations do not have a safety network, thus they fall very far.
12.5 But I weigh 155 kg. Sadly, only few mentally disabled people have resources they need. I am not stupid -- I am a high functioning autistic. Of course, I am not a genius. I have average IQ and low EQ.
My neighbour is an Aspie and she agonizes over her inability to cope. She has recently found a job delivering pizzas after a few years of unemployment. She was fine for 24 years in her job as a sort of storeman at a school but that all went to Sh## after some sort of disagreement with a colleague. She’s a very kind person and is fairly insightful. Not stupid! Lives with her 82 year old mother and I don’t know what will happen when Mum croaks. Maybe she’ll manage, because I think her mother is a part of the problem- anxious and short fused.
I live with my parents. I never had a formal job. I do have Master's degree in Math. I do household work for my parents about 15 to 25 hours per week. I do not drive and I do not have drivers license. In online discussions, I am Dr. Jekyll 95% of time, but as Mr. Hyde I can be very mean.

You sound a lot like my cousin. He's a very nice guy, but he is bipolar and manages to screw up every career job and marriage he gets into. He works as a bartender and lives with his mom. He's 55. We all have our issues. I'm a newly divorced 56 year old. I have a solid career and 6 figure income, but after a 30 year failed marriage I have trust issues with women and I don't want to re-engage. I have 3 adult sons and 2 grandchildren. My ex is desperate for me to take her back, but I don't trust the cheater and she is currently dating her current boss. I'm about to build a home in the country and then I may try to start dating if I still want.
I have a cousin who works part time as a math tutor. Is that something you could do?? Maybe be a substitute teacher? You would have to pass a background check.
I used to read a lot of historical books about Russia. That was my hobby in late 1980s and 1990s. Now I read Social Media a lot.
Saying you've failed isnt entirely accurate so long as there yet remains any chance that you might succeed in the future. Have you given up?
My suggestion is to find a regular job. It doesn't even have to pay much. You don't have to like it. You simply need to go to it.
