Major details about me

• I'm mentally retarded (or autistic, or whatever you want to say, I don't really care anymore as Scoobydooman90001 (on the Godzilla wiki) was right: I AM A MORON), as I was born with Asperger's syndrome.
  • Because I'm autistic my voice is somewhat deep and monotonous, giving the impression (to those who aren't familiar with how I talk), that I'm agitated, in a bad mood, etc.
• I wear my heart on my sleeve, so it's very easy to hurt my feelings.
• Growing up autistic and not knowing what it was until after I graduated high school, I was isolated and constantly bullied.
  • One time I was bullied to my breaking point and decided to try and take the coward's way out (suicide).
• I take all mistakes and failures (even minor ones) very seriously.
• I may be 22, but I'm still a kid at heart, and I don't tolerate bullying or rudeness (especially directed at me).
• Because I was bullied in my youth, I have very little to almost no self-confidence/self-esteem.
• In addition to Asperger's I was also born with ADHD.
  • Because of this and my autism, I've been fired from two jobs already (when comes to jobs, I can only work part-time, and only through the help of "vocational rehab", as my mom fought for 4 years to get me SSI benefits, primarily to get me medicaid to help pay for my dr.'s appointments as well as my medication. If I work full-time, or accumulate $2,000+ in my bank account, they'll cut it immediately):
    1. My true first job was really "job training" at Goodwill to get my feet wet for the working world. And I did great.
    2. My first "real" job was as an usher at Carmike Cinema (a movie theater), but they had never worked with the retarded before and didn't understand certain things when working with me: because of ADHD, I'm constantly fully of energy and have to be moving to feel like I'm making progress of any kind, plus I take certain medications to help keep me tame, so to speak. But on my "last day" (I didn't know it would be at the time) I had to use the bathroom while my co-workers cleaned out a theater lobby (as my medications sometimes rile up my stomach), and by the time I was done, they finished cleaning the theater. My supervisor told me that I couldn't do what I did, and sent me home early. With all the big movies coming out I felt I would get more work, but never got called in. I don't remember how long I worked there, but it was a couple years ago, and I only went in on Saturdays & Sundays. Took 'em almost six months just to tell me & my family "he's fired", as they did it behind my back.
    3. My second job was as an employee at Wild Wing Cafe. I was doing good at first, but too much downtime had me bored (as the job I did most was folding napkins to wrap silverware in), and I didn't make a good impression on the CEO (she was a regular helper, and dressed just as casually as everyone else, so I couldn't tell the difference). Two months later, the CEO decided to fire me when my boss was having surgery (he liked me and tried to defend me so I could stay). When I went in to get my final paycheck, I asked her upfront if I was fired (for confirmation), and she replied I was. When I remarked on how uncool it was, she simply handed me my check and said "have a good rest of the day".
• I'm currently 22 years old (going on 23).
