When I look at legal work; my brain just shorts and feels like giving up; I believe executive dysfunction is at fault.

It takes so much time to do legal stuff; I’m thinking about getting someone else to do it for me, and I’m only 17.

  • For some forms, there are legal punishments for not filing them properly; there is even a e possibility to be prisoned.

  • It takes so much time to deal with legal stuff.

I still have a vote registration form left over because of that fear.

How do neurotypicals manage to deal with legal stuff (without getting repercussions for messing them up)?


It’s the same issue with employment; even with a union. I have not been employed though.

  • There is a risk of being abuse; the risk is large in the US.
  • Office politics is convoluted.
  • I may have to try to deal with abusers and manipulators.
  • Work seems so tiring to me.
  • I think that I would struggle to reach out for help if I need any.
  • I might struggle to respect and hold boundaries; I struggled with respecting boundaries, most of them pertaining to romance, as a child and teenager.

Finance is super complicated too; so much stuff to do that my brain paralyzes. There’s manipulative people that would attempt to financially abuse me.

I don’t think I have the skills to deal with that yet.

I wish I could live in a distributist society where finance is automatically handled. ☹️

  • So many currencies to deal with.
  • So many forms.
  • So much education.

This stuff makes me want to get a platonic marriage so that I don’t have to deal with the prospect of doing this stuff. (Romantic marriages fail because romance does not last long.)

    You’re not the only one & it’s definitely not only a thing people in the autism spectrum struggle with.

    Yea this stuff can feel brain-cooking-ly difficult sometimes and often the shit wording ("legalese ") seems intentional to allow flexabilitiy for the contract writer to be successful in court.

    There are services like “citizens advice buerau” to help prevent people being tricked that may provide some free help, ask at community places like a library, school careers advisors, or places that care for older people (the help is often used by elderly but may not be only for old people).

    This “get a platonic marriage so that I don’t have to deal with the prospect of doing this stuff” - is a horrible idea, I’d recommended crossing that off the to-do list. You, and a prospective partner deserve much better than that, and mentally writing-off your outlook for something more fulfilling is really unhealthy - just don’t stress about to conforming to NT “norms”, feeling a failure if you don’t have a job/sex by a certain time, its a trap, and you won’t feel happy by dancing to someone else’s beat…you do you.
