I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling this way. It sounds like you're going through a really tough time. It's important to remember that you're not alone, and there are people who care about you and want to help.
Here are a few suggestions that might be helpful:
1. **Seek Professional Support**: Consider reaching out to a therapist or counselor who specializes in autism. They can provide strategies and support tailored to your needs.
2. **Support Groups**: Look for support groups for individuals with autism. Connecting with others who understand what you're going through can be incredibly validating and helpful.
3. **Educate Your Step-Dad**: Sometimes, people don't understand what autism is like. Sharing resources or inviting him to a support group meeting might help him see your perspective.
4. **Self-Advocacy**: It's okay to ask for what you need. You might find it helpful to write down your needs and how you think they can be met, and then discuss this with your step-dad or another supportive adult.
5. **Focus on Strengths**: Everyone has unique strengths. Try to identify yours and find ways to use them in social situations or job settings.
6. **Small Steps**: Instead of focusing on big changes, try setting small, achievable goals. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small.
Remember, it's okay to ask for help, and it's okay to take time to find what works best for you. You deserve support and understanding.
