It shall come to absolutely nobody'a surprise that I FKING SUCK AT CHESS. I am unable to secure ELO over 200, and in the rare case I do, it won't last for 10 minutes. I struggle to win matches, struggle to find help, and every single one of my friends are rated much higher than me. I'm about ready to give up on chess entirely. If you have help that you can provide, don't bother. My autistic ahh brain will struggle to understand the simplest concepts. (Don't say I am not autistic, I have been diagnosed by a professional doctor that I have autism) So with no other options, I am faced with one final decision. I don't quit and I preserver, and by doing so, I get beat again and again and again and again , over and over and over and over and over again until I can't handle it anymore, or I save myself the headache and the dignity and quit. 

What shall I do?

I can 100% help. Even though my elo isn't too high, but I think it also lightens your pressure.

Don't listen to us.

Take your own path, lead your own life.

But I do think that if you wish to persevere, you should get a coach. It helps your gameplay a lot.
