It's been such a while since I was last on here, you heard about me working in the 'sheltered workshop', surprisingly enough it has improved my social skills and gotten me out of my shell. I am quitting in a week or so to get some help from Commonwealth Rehabilitation Services in finding and keep open employment work. I am very likely going back to TAFE next year studying Accounting.
I managed to move out of my dad and stepmother's home and lived with a roommate with spinal bifida for a month or so, before personality clash and various other things, I decided to move out and found another place with a nice middle-aged guy and his geeky son.
I made some new local friends through going to a youth drama festival, which I enjoyed, and trivia nights my ex-roommate and we did. I am going to likely do Poker or either Dancing classes (I've done a few) or play baseball for an amateur team next year.
I also had a good chance of entering into a relationship with an autie girl (far from being intellectually disabled) who was once working in the same network of businesses I am at the moment (they are part of the same disability services organization), but is now an apprentice chef. Her family are pretty strict and overprotective and banned her from giving out phone numbers to guys, also her mother threaten to issue a restraint order on her ex, I have met if he and her did not break up.
I had go through her mother to get in touch with her. I made some mistakes I did not I was making and eventually I had to break off all contact with the girl (I was limited to phone calls with her by her mother) under the threat to be reported by the police for harassment by her father whom she lives with. I am still getting over that, I feel sometimes if I had not blundered I might have entered a romantic relationshp with a girl, me and her former work supervisor felt would have gotten along like a house on fire.
