Lemme see...
Genetic Aspergers. It runs in all the males, and maybe even females on my father's side, so I, my father, my uncle, my uncle's sons, (possibly) my aunt (she will NOT accept the chance for diagnosis), (probably) my aunt's son (aunt won't let him get diagnosed either), my eldest Uncle's son's son... Yes, it ~HAS~ been diagnosed by medical doctors, multiples even (particularly my diagnosis when I was younger and mother wanted to dope me up on Ritalin and Dex for supposedly having non-existent ADD or ADHD).
Myopia (near-sightedness). Take off my specs and not even a foot away I can only read things if they're in BIG MUTHAFUKING LETTERS (like a brand name logo) and beyond that distance it gets worse as my view of the world turns into blurs of colours. Doesn't help both my mother and father are myopic as well (though dad could read bus numbers over a mile away when he was younger, apparently).
Regarding the first one, I'm currently on the DSP (Disability Support Pension. Yes, they DO cover Aspergers provided you can give evidence) from Centrelink, which provides a fortnightly (bi-monthly) pay in order to keep a roof over my head. At least, until I get a job that pays and is full time, in an area where I can't even find part-time jobs or even temp or casual jobs let alone a full-time job.
(Don't even think about suggesting I look for a job where I can use my 15-odd years of computers experience and knowledge, I'd have to waste a LOT of time back in TAFE to get the papers to acknowledge that experience for such a job, and unless I can convince Centrelink to provide me an additional Student Pay (wading through DOOM without cheats would be easier) whilst I'm going there, it's gonna be out of my very empty personal wallet.)
