| That totally makes sense about the hyperfocusing. I love music as well and I share that excitement with coming up with a new song! |

| It is great to be a mentor to the young people that experience the world the way I do. I wish you the best of luck with finding ways on following your passion. Good for you on the golf! |

| As a person with autism, my mind fixates on certain topics. Over the years, it has been washing machines, weather, and right now it's how the brain of a person that experiences autism works. I am obsessed with my own brain and I love getting to know people who have similarities to me. It is a breath... |

| Hi all: I was let go from my job of nearly 10 years within hours when a new manager found out I had an Americans with Disabilities Act letter outlining needed reasonable accomodations to do my job well. I never received those accomodations and the letter was ignored. The result of all this is going ... |

| I’ve learned that how you feel about others is a reflection of how you feel about yourself. If you hate yourself, then you are more likely to think others hate you. If you love yourself, you will be more likely to think others at least like you. I used to think of myself as unlikeable, then I starte... |

| What for? I fully accept who I am being on the spectrum and have learned to love myself just the way I am. I am very familiar with the difficulties of autism, but life is a journey. If you think about it, everyone has their own unique journey through life. I’m just glad to experience life in whateve... |

| I understand as I experience life in similar ways. What has helped me is to embrace who you are. I started looking in the mirror and telling myself I love you unconditionally. Be your own best friend. I am working on talking to myself either in my head or through journaling or talking out loud like ... |

| Yeah, late 30s is too early to be giving up. My partner's dad remarried in his late 60s and has 4 kids from that relationship now ( 8O ) - it does happen. But I get that you want to be young enough to keep up with them. I have two thoughts. Firstly, careful about what you're putting out there. I've... |

| The only time it's too late to get married is when you're either dead or when your memory isn't working correctly and you can't really be considered to know what you're doing anymore. In other words, you should have plenty of time for that. Having kids is a little trickier, but since you're a man, ... |

| I have thought about adopting, although ideally if I get the opportunity to raise a child it would be from a traditional two parent family. Adoption is an option worth looking into I think. Just as an aside,10 years ago I moved into a larger home and got a stable career in my field of study. I have ... |

| Thank you for your kind response, much appreciated! I feel overwhelmed by trying to figure out where to start. Is there a website or a contact number to start with? If I can find a good starting point then I think it would at least give me hope. |
