So, for context, I am 20 years old and right now I just landed a job at Taco Bell as a cashier, and currently saving up money for Car Insurance and gas, once my mom lends me her jeep.

Something that I realize is that universally almost everyone at my old high school got their driver's license at 16 years old or 17 years old.

Meanwhile, I got my license around September 2025, which was one month after my 20th birthday.

I was also one of those kids in high school that didn't get their first job until I graduated high school, because I would've been overstimulated with work and school.

So, it's May 1st, 2009, at the time I was living in Las Vegas, Nevada. I lived in a neighborhood where houses were close to each other, and they looked like town houses.

My family and I got back from the famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, when we got home, my siblings decided to go play at the park in my neighborhood.

Being the little kid, I was at the time, I was running around the house, and then when I saw my mom, I asked her where my siblings were at, and she said, "They're playing at the park."

So, we have two parks in my neighborhood, and I thought they were at the park next to our house, because well it was next to our house.

So I went to the window in the loft, I opened it and leaned on the screen, and well I ended up popping screen off the window and then I fell out of the window, hitting the fence in the side yard, and landing on a bush that ended up breaking up most of the fall, but then I fell off of that and landed on the rocks.

Remember when I said that I was running around the house a lot when I was a little kid? Well, my parents realized that I wasn't running around the house and being loud, so they ended up wondering where I was at, so they went upstairs to check where I was at, and then they realized that the window in the loft was open and the screen was gone.

My dad rushed outside, picked me up, and took me to the hospital. I probably spent weeks in the hospital, my parents thought that I've died or something.

By the time I enrolled in public schooling, I pretty much ended up having all special education classes until late high school.

As the years gone by, I struggle to remember things, I struggle socially, and sometimes I struggle to do certain tasks, even some of these tasks are basic normal tasks.

I struggle on trying to learn new things, because I get overstimulated very quickly, and it's just a weakness that I have.

There are some things that I thought about learning, but then I reminded myself that I will just overstimulate myself and causing myself trouble in the long run.

I know this is going to sound silly, but anytime someone teaches me something, I always ended getting scared because if I start to overstimulate or not process everything in my head. I will get scared that they will get upset with me and ends up causing my mood, to go down.

Do some of you guys' struggle with these issues, tell me about them if you wish to talk about it.

Sorry if this was too much to read.
