family problems

[DragonFan]

i live with my family and most of the time they can't show me one bit of respect to a person with autism and it drives me nuts.i just want them to respect me more but nothing is working and i want to be away from them before they try to hurt me.i just wish they would leave me alone but i don't want to hit them i just want to get away from them and i've been trying to get along with them but they just can't handle a person with autism.all they do is disrespect me and it's rude of them to do this sort of thing and i've been
trying to move out for a few years now but nothing is working.all i want is some damn respect from my family but do they no.it's making me mad and i really want to live with someone else that shows more respect than these total psychos that just can't handle me.they treat me like a little kid and their
threats, violence, and anger problems just make me want to attack them for this and i don't want to what should i do.

I'm so sorry
It has to be difficult! I'm sure they love you and are just being protective and get just a frustrated as you do sometimes. Why is it if you want to move out that you have been unable to?

[DragonFan]

well they don't love me because they treat me so bad like it's not even a joke
and i can't take it anymore.well the reason why i want to move out is because my family just can't handle them releasing their anger this way and they just can't stop treating me so bad.i've been wanting to move out but i have to go through red tape and still on the waiting list to get money.

[MalPixie]

Well I would think that if it is as bad as you say there is some way that they could get you some financial help sooner! is there anyone that you know that you could stay with until you do? do you have a job?

[DragonFan]

nope i barely know anyone who i can live with at this time.

[Shanti]

Can I ask what they do to you that makes you feel so bad?

[AineDanu]

Its not of practical use but I do send you a big HUGGGSSS. It is difficult to live with people who do not understand you and who treat you like a child because of your medical problems or disabilities. I am sorry to hear that they react to you with violence and anger and I hope that you can find a resolution to this soon.

Unfortunately, many people don't understand Autism, so they tend to either treat those who are Autistic badly or just blatantly ignore them. Alot of people don't even know what it is, and if they do, they don't even know that there are different forms/degrees of Autism.

My best friend is Autistic. I have another friend who is Autistic, and we've been friends since 3rd grade. People have treated/still treat her like crap, and constantly degrade her. My younger cousin is also Autistic, though my Aunt really doesn't like to admit to it...

There are many people(like me, for instance) that would love to get away from their homes. I can understand that feeling. As soon as you can get the money and everything's clear, go for it and rent a place where you can stay. I send you the best of wishes.

[DragonFan]

well when they get angry they ream out at me and sometimes they try to hit me at times and that's not right.other things they do is take things away from
me but that's so childish and it won't stop.

[DragonFan]

true but i just can't stand how they treat a person with autism it's unfair but i
know it can be wrong for people with anger management problems.

[DragonFan]

that's too true and i agree with you all the way i know it can be hard for a person to be treated so badly and even my family can't understand much about autism that much.but i can understand that it is unfair to others and people need to respect more people with disabilities instead of being treated so badly.

Can you seek help from the state on the grounds that they are abusive? As well as being disabled (or at least the people I know with autism are considered as) - I would think the combination of the two would qualify you for assistance of some sort.

[DragonFan]

i don't know a lot about it i haven't found much about it at all but i hope to find a lot about it soon

[AineDanu]

Im just curious -you said you hope to find out alot soon - How are you going to do that?

[DragonFan]

i was going to look in phonebooks but i know they won't do much since i couldn't do much about the problem

[AineDanu]

All the phone book can tell you is the phone numbers for some various state agencies. You could then call and ask them what can be done. Or you could look online for information as well. Just an idea. Sometimes the librarians can also help you find information about your rights and what agencies to contact for further assistance.

[DragonFan]

well i could do that but i'm not good at looking up good info on the phonebook
but i don't know if i can find the right info on it
