I figured out my scientific theory and how to explain it to others, and that's my biggest accomplishment in my life!

Getting laid.
I felt pretty accomplished when I created some of my music, and a few people on the net liked it a lot. Made me feel kinda good about what I do.

Getting a Master's degree in English
Writing a book about my cat, Samantha, and my other pets (I haven't had it published, but just doing it and sending it out to a publisher was a major goal for me.)

I cant really say that I have any decent achievements. I am 25 and have yet to:
- figure out what I want in my career.
- finish any kind of tertiary education.
- have any kind of recognition for anything from anyone other than friend or family.
- make any kind of progress with myself in terms of self acceptance.

Perhaps the lack of achievement is an accomplishment in itself?!

Getting 155 out of a maximum of 160 on the MENSA home test.

Getting offered work on Starlight Express And at the Globe Theatre in London after just 8 months Stage Management experience... which leads me to my greatest regret...choosing that point to have a breakdown of sorts.

I guess my ongoing achievement would be in playing the guitar. I've gotten pretty good in the 3 years I've been playing. Better, in fact, than a lot of people from high school who have played for like 7 years. A friend of mine has been playing for 8 and he didn't even know how pickups worked or the difference between a fixed bridge and an floating trem :roll:. Aspie obsessiveness comes in handy sometimes :). Also I recently started playing classical guitar and I can sight-read simple stuff.
