i'm an autist and i loved working full-time so long as it's something i like doing. it gave structure, routine, i got to go outside so my skin isn't ghostly and my hair doesn't fall out from lack of sunlight, gave me reason to shave, shower, keep clean and presentable. now i'm unemployed and for the first time ever feel like biting a bullet. no purpose, no entertainment, no socializing at all. we're not meant to live as shut ins and working forces us to do the things humans typically enjoy.
