[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 682492, member: 1550"] Savior, you get it. Not all of our d c are wired to care about what typical people value. And not all of our d c could make it in or would be able to conform, even if they tried, to typical professions. Some, like me, mqy get pleasure in doing ANY job that they can perform and receive praise. I have often said id get joy fro cleaning toilets if my boss appreciated the way I did it. Academics, profession, money, posessions and even financial freedom do not guarantee happiness. In fact the CEO of a huge company, very wealthy and educated, hung himself. Hed lived across the street from me when I lived in an upscale area. This was when I was a kid. I was different then and teased for refusing to conform to buying clothes at Saks or the old Marshell Fields. I bought mine at discount stores. I refused to be my childs idea of a money snob. A money snob. I was different and rebelled against those values. I was different even then. I am grateful I can live happily and with great satisfaction in a two bedroom apartment and not wish I had a mansion. I am grateful I am not concerned with how I look (although due to genetics I do look quite young and still pretty). But I dont play it up with make up and fancy clothes. To me, it is a waste of time. I am very glad that I can drive any old car and not envy or desire some fancy status symbol. I am glad I dont judge anyone by education level, job, profession or posessions. I love my blue jeans. I dont wear jewelry. Diamonds mean nothing to me conpared to rescuing a needy dog. I dont have or want diamonds. Yes, I am very different. If someone shows me their diamond ring I have to feign being inpressed. It doesnt do anything to me. Oddball. Weirdo. Different. That is me. I think in my own way . I value myown things. I just need my hub and kids, a roof and activities. Most neurotypical people do not smell the roses (some do). I happy to be different, but life has often been a struggle. [/QUOTE]
