When the state doesn't want to help an "old" poor, autistic soul, and said person is being threatened with homelessness by their own sibling, person then emails an intentional community in the hopes they will take said person in, only to find out said individual's email was the only one ignored, apparently bc person is truly in hell, so they write up a quick webpage in the hopes someone besides the email gatekeeper sees it... or anyone who has half a heart does. So he starts posting the link all over the damn place. Currently stuck in a room, in a cookie cutter house, in a cookie cutter development, that is surrounded by oil and gas tank fields and refineries... aka hell.

I'm sorry you're going through a rough patch. I don't have any opportunities to offer you, but I wanted to take a minute to write and say that I can feel where you're coming from, and I see you.

Isn't that a profound thought? I see you. I think I heard it in Avatar.  But it is true. If people said that to each other more, the simple affirmation could be helpful to so many who think they're invisible, or maybe they are to most who don't want to deal with what they're going through because they are having their own struggles.

You'll find a place that values you and where you can thrive, I just know it.

Hello, Harold.

I'm sorry you are not getting in contact with the people you are looking for. If you are trying to contact the staff at Wheaton Labs, then it is best to write a post in the 'tinkering with this site' forum.

I wish you can find a positive solution for your problems.

Life is a state of mind.

Life is what we make of it.

There is no free lunch.

An interesting point of view:

many people have no problem following their dreams if they’re prepared to put in a bit of work and make the occasional compromises.

So in other words, if you have your dreams and ambitions and you work hard to achieve your goals, then you’ll have a purpose and you’re less likely to feel as if your life is pointless.

I have been following your process over on ic.org and I was afraid something like this would happen, with the community you emailed.  Even so I'm sorry it happened to you.  I think if you lead with your knowledge and skills and focus on those things rather than the scary parts you'll have better success finding a good community to join.  Community takes a heck of a lot of people skills, maneuvering around social expectations and cues and guessing what others are thinking.  This is part of why I'm shifting away from the idea of intentional community myself.  I think that, in terms of community, you'd do best in a rural setting where expectations and rules are clearly demarked and you know exactly what is, and isn't, expected.  So maybe posting about that on here and see what you find, without mentioning your creepy sibling?

Take the lovely  steps to journey down a new road to be rescued.  Only thing I can tell is that state and social security will help with that but you will need to look into those benefits to help with living , And benefits to help with autism so on if your struggle so you can keep going , food and clothes , health. Seek out some churches in your area and find some friends who have been through this.  You can buy seeds with food benefits.  I lived with a church lady for a while. I talked to church and said I needed a new place to start over at my sister's. I was a built -in babysitter. It was not fair that long ago life got better over time.. Churches can be a bit more nice in giving helping hands but you may have to follow some things you don't have to be religious but still believe in your own way.  I also heard some people have bought sheds to make a  home that might be cheaper to make your own place.  Sell stuff you don't need , craft , sell some of your gardening , paint.  Find organizations that help with autism in the area even at the health department and family services.  Try to talk to your family, have a family meeting if you can have your own shed your own space  on the same land make a deal even that can help communication is key agreeing on things.  If you need help it should be like a visiting angel can help like a mentor come and talk to you even a social worker  you balance and  social time and doing things to keep going. But you make the rules in your life: you live organic and natural. Take some lavender baths , recharge in the sun for 5 mins a day , eat a healthy meal , go to local library check out some books you like , get yourself a ice cream cone treat yourself , take time to create the life you want use your imagination with visualization with intuition with your art of your life as you go. Do not give up your passion , start talking good about yourself life. You love yourself. Sometimes we have to do this road alone but you are never alone with God and the universe and forest and tree's know the forgotten   knowledge. You can always ask them if they will take you as you are. But in time you will meet people along the way time to take the wheel of the wagon go on the trail.  It will be baby steps but once you do it you will feel better that you did it.
