That... does sound kind of abusive. Your parents should help you achieve independence, not hold you prisoner in your own home and constantly undermine you and chip away at your confidence to keep you emotionally and physically helpless.

I've read similar stories in these threads:

Unfortunately you need to buy an account to post and comment, and when they paywall is up (like right now), to read too.

I'm just saying, you're not the first person to be held kind of hostage by their own parents and be in a position where you can't dig yourself out easily. Other people have broken free, and I think you can too, but I sadly don't have the advice or knowledge of the right resources to do so.

Are there organizations to help people with mental conditions or to help adults where you live?

A counselor you could see, to listen to you, point you in the right direction of what to do and generally help you cope?

What you need is a support system of people who are not your parents so you can maintain perspective that, "no, what your parents are doing isn't okay, here's what should be happening and how you can work towards that".

Saving money to find your own place to live and working your way into learning to drive/getting a car so you can move around are probably the first steps you can take, but there are many more.

Well I'm hesitant about signing up for SA because I've heard that they're kind of nasty to people with Asperger Syndrome. I had enough of that for the last...all of my school career.

I think so my friends have given me some. and I have those on bookmark. My parents have offered a therapist I just need a few appointments completely alone with them so my parents don't push them towards "you just need to listen to your parents".

I would like someone with some influence to tell them they're wrong. They might do something if someone actually can get them to see my point of view. I do have ways to deal now. Which mostly include not taking their threats and making sure they know I'm prepared to leave if they threaten to kick me out. Because then they won't do it.

People on E/N tend to be nicer in general, but really, as long as you don't go all "no, I know better than you, your advice is shitty, etc. etc." kind of ungrateful or smug you should be fine.

Sometimes they are the tough love kind of people, and there are a few users who make troll posts, but for the most part you get genuinely good advice there.

Well, you know your parents better than I do, but don't gamble and people changing their minds when it comes to your future. They might come around, but they might not.

BUT it does sound like you're handling yourself just fine. :) I wish you the best of luck.
