have you ever been hospitalized before?

I wish I could get autism bux but I'm too socially retarded to see a psych.

>>8738313
Are you diagnosed with autism, or any psychological disorders? If not, you're out of luck.

What country gives you money for being autistic?

>>8738326
You can get money for social anxiety and depression me thinks.

>>8738318
Yes, once. From attempted suicide. Also seen psychologists, psychiatrists and counselors multiple times.

>>8738326
Several in fact. It's mostly things an average /jp/sie suffers from. Eating disorders, impulse disorders, anxiety disorders, mood, etc.

I am waiting for the response to my application. Should be any week now. I don't know how they do it in your country but, it will most likely take some time and you might have to meet with the responsible authorities more than once.

Other than that, try to be clear and consistent when explaining your situation, but also try to include as much details as possible. If you know you might get nervous or forgetful, write everything down that you want to say on a list and bring it. In this case, many details about you everyday life might be important.

And bring any papers they might possibly want.

Ironically, in order to be considered disables you still need to be clear minded enough to handle these kind of situations. It put me off many times in the past, but try to keep fighting on. Good luck anon!

>>8738338
You won't be approved.

>>8738334
As someone with diagnosed depression (to the point of prescribed medication) and social anxiety, I can confirm that is not enough to get free money. Your disability must severely impair you from working.

>Also please share stories of how you first applied for autism bucks
I had been to several therapists and on various meds that didn't help. My general practitioner suggested that I apply for SSI, so I did. After applying, they paid for me to see a psychiatrist and he asked me a bunch of questions. After that, I waited six months or so for them to make their decision, and they approved me. I got a lump sum payment from the time I applied, which was a pretty nice bonus, and have received monthly checks since then.

>>8738353
What if you tell them that it DOES impair me from working because everything seems meaningless and I want to kill myself?

>>8738363
Telling them you're having suicidal thoughts like that seems like a bad idea.

>>8738346
Why not? The doctor said I can get some benefits if I apply for them. That's why I'm going in the first place.

I'm not getting money for just being retarded, I'm getting aid from the government to help me get better. Now I'm having a panic attack because I'm afraid they might make fun of me for asking.

Fuck you /jp/.

>>8738363
I think that what >>8738353 means is that the diagnosis of depression and social anxiety isn't enough. If you are suicidal it might "help", but if think the idea is that severe depression usually ends in other diagnosis as well. In that case you need professional help to identify those. If you just tell them "my life sucks baaaaw" they won't approve you. You need to back it up with a lengthy medical record and proof.

>>8738372
You might be aid, but you won't get your autism bucks.
You're too healthy.

>>8738372
Have a mental breakdown during the talk, that might help

>>8738372
I'm laughing so hard right now. I can't wait till you get rejected.

>>8738381
Well fuck them, if I try to kill myself in front of them isn't that enough?

>>8738378
>You're too healthy.
Now that's a load of shit.

>>8738356
>Sudo
>living with momma and getting spoon fed
>getting extra money from the state for being "autistic"
You sure know how to live.

>>8738372
Calm down. >>8738345 here

They won't make fun of you, I promise.
From what I can read in >>8738338 you seem like you could get approved. But I can only base that on the assumption that the rules in your country are similar to mine, plus I don't know the details of your background. Stay calm, and WHATEVER you do, don't belittle your own problems or get scared that they won't be enough. That way you'll never get the money. You have to convince them that you need them, and that your problems are serious.

Since pedophila is a DSM-recognized mental disorder, can I receive welfare for being a pedophile? I truly think that as a pedophile, my capacity to work is severely limited by the fact I can't control myself if I'm within 100 feet of anyone under the age of 12.

>>8738397
Don't quite your day job.

>>8738389

You don't have a chance OP.
Unless you're in the UK or someplace.

>>8738381

>>8738353 here,
Suicide attempts on my record, and my psych was even considering a recommendation for a mental clinic. That nearly gave me a heart attack so I went with the meds instead. It's much more serious than the "my life sucks" bullshit, but still not serious enough to get free money. It really all depends on crippling diagnosed problems, such as aspergers, schizophrenia, bipolar PD, etc. But at that point, it's safer and easier to send the patient off to a clinic. Also, if they can get in contact with a parent, they will try to confirm your problems before appropriating funds.

>>8738420
I don't live in a 3rd world shithole where unhealthy people are left for dead, but I have confidence that I will get some kind of help one way or another. And the easiest help to give is in the form of money.

I mean for real. Will they actually expect every citizen to be the same hardworking high intelligence high potential model person with zero problems? That would be nice, but it's not true. If the government isn't highly corrupt and can help its own people when there are problems, it would, wouldn't it?

>>8738420
The UK is great. I'm getting MORE money because I'm too socially anxious to go to the Job Centre and pick up my dole.

>>8738447
What mystic land are you from anyway?
If it's not a welfare state, you have no chance in hell.

They'll find any excuse not to give you autism money. Get an attorney to do your paperwork for you so you actually get it. There are firms that specialize in it that will do it for a percentage of your back-pay and nothing else.

>>8738447
The government would only profit from killing people like you.

>>8738394
I'm not autistic, according to two psychiatrists and a psychologist.

>>8738458
>If it's not a welfare state

It is.

>>8738459
I'd approve of it, hell, I'd honestly rather be dead and have this shit life with my shit brain problems over with than get autism bucks, but they'd rather give me money to help me get better and become a normalfag and "contribute" to society. I'll take what I can get from them.

They arent going to beleive you.

An autistic person? writing papers? and applying for monetary benefits?
You would have better chances at flinging your semen at the twin towers. No one would believe you.

So when you get rejected, will you tell us before you kill yourself?

>>8738476
I don't know if you misunderstood but I didn't write up my own paperwork. The doctors and mental health professionals did.

>>8738484
I'll make sure I will. After all, if I can't get any help, I'm definitely a lost cause.

>>8738487
Go be a lost cause elsewhere please.

>>8738518
Suck my cock, dude.

America sounds like shit. It's pretty easy to get on welfare here in Australia, and even easier if you have a legit condition, like I do. Waiting 6 months sounds fucking ridiculous. I'm fairly sure you get paid more down here too.

>>8738537
Unless you're black or Mexican, America is shit.

>>8738460
>any excuse

Like what? If you leave these kinds of people alone, they end up resorting to crime and/or homelessness, adding to the overall shit quality of the country/state. More easily, readily treatable and people willing to go for treatment who only require a little aid for barely a fraction of their lifetime end up getting nothing and down the road, end up dead or imprisoned. Do they really live in modern society? I'm sure that kind of shit flies in uganda or random 3rd world shitholes where they'd rather buy more guns to kill you than help you, but in developed areas of the world that really shouldn't be the case. I'm not saying everybody should get free money, but turning away legitimate cases or just making it incredibly convoluted and stressful for someone just to save the government a few autism bucks is just strange to me.

I'd like to know what excuse they'd use to not help somebody in need.

>>8738605
>I'd like to know what excuse they'd use to not help somebody in need.
That's just how it is.

>>8738605
>I'd like to know what excuse they'd use to not help somebody in need.
It's much easier to send the person with mental problems off to a mental clinic rather than give them money.

>>8738605
It's the protestant work ethic basically.

Americans HATEHATEHATE the idea of someone getting a "free ride".

That's why we had big demonstrations in every major city for over a year, filled with people extremely angry that poor people might be able to get decent healthcare.

And mental healthcare? It doesn't exist.

You either need to "man up" or find jesus if you're crazy in the USA.

>>8738628
I agree with that, provided the person in question is highly unstable, a danger to himself and others or downright useless and has nowhere to go without literally dying in a ditch in his own shit and can't last a day without somebody watching him. Not everybody who needs help is like that or needs such extreme solutions. And again, not everyone is completely helpless and does fine without any help too. Should everyone be like this? That'd be great. Is everyone like that? No. Why? Because no place and nobody is perfect.

>>8738665
That only makes sense in a very short term view. All debts must be paid, right? If you help someone now, they will contribute back. If there are people who think it's unfair and say "well I never needed help", they should consider themselves blessed by the all-american almighty lord jesus that they never needed help.

There are those who abuse government aid and that's where most of the hate and criticism stems from. But it's unfair to assume everyone's out there to rob you.

>>8738689
>All debts must be paid, right?
Not really. Debts can be forgiven.

>>8738696
Well I meant according to protestant work ethic, unpaid debts are free rides and free rides are looked down upon.
