GUYSS I'M AFRAID

I think I'm going to make a decision that can change my life.

As an 18 year old transman in Iraq with Autism, ADHD and depression, in my last year of highschool, it's so difficult for me to continue this path (especially when I failed two subjects).

And my first and last goal is to get out of my country as soon as possible to start my new life and become the guy I've always been with HRT.

My focus began to shift towards Germany, and immigration programs such as those for artists and freelancers that do not require a school degree.

But my fear is the reaction of those around me; they will think I am a failure instead of thinking that the usual path for neurotypical people (school -> UN -> hiring/employment) isn't ideal for me and I'm focusing on something else and they'll force me to repeat a school year.

Plz tell me anything, advice or anything.

@Z4IN I'm not sure if I am qualified as such, coz I'm not professional, but simply a high school student and if there's one thing I know it's that you should trust yourself. If taking that leap will help you grow, then it doesn't matter what other people think, focus on what's important to you and your career/academic path. No one has ever been able to do anything by thinking about what others say, so research on what you can do, find fool proof info with a fool proof plan and then decide what you think works best and not necessarily what others think works best for you :)) 

You got thisssss!! Trustt
