I am proud of it because I can overcome it.

I consider my AS a gift. The only reason why I am posting this message is for the sake of some new members to reply.

I don't know whether to hate or like it. Reality
has finally set in for me for me coming to grips
with this.

What kind of realities?

Last summer at this time I had this real magical
feeling coarsing through me. Finding out about
this made me feel like I was reborn. Everytrip to
the library, every website I visited revealed some
new piece of information about AS. That made me
feel happy.

Awareness isn't it wonderful!

[qutoe="scoots"]
But when school came, I could no longer focus on
that, and instead had to deal with the reality that
I needed to go to school and that my AS would
somehow be affecting me at school.

•I ended up seeking help from the counslers
on campus becasue of it and they helped me
a great deal. [/quote]

How?

But as I look back on that year, and my life
in general, I realize that I have never been
able to accomplish the major milestones in ones
life with out significant help from others, and at
a much later time than everyone else,
and that I'm going to need a lot of support
from others if I'm going to recieve my bachelors
degree.

This is why I say I take my steps step-by-step!

The awareness that opens the door, and
the help you recieve make you a better person,
so don't compare yourself to others, that is
a failure-guaranteed path! been there-done that!

And that makes me feel bad becasue I see other people
I went to high school who are now in successful carers,
getting married and starting families, owning their own
homes ETC.

How do you think I feel? The most I have earned
per month was $1200 as a diswasher, Oooh! how
pathetic of a creature can I be(pre-outing). I know
see it step by step and let each event be special and
take it's course!

And here I am living in my parents basement still trying to
get through college at age 25.

At least you have family to help you, and God-bless.
Just take it step by step!

How and what way did you overcome it?????
Hmmmmmm? Autism is life long! It is the
coping skills that make it easier to deal with
in my opinion! But.......

I will repeat the question!
How and what way did you overcome it?????

But it is a gift! It is a gift of awareness and
learning about how forgiveness of our flaws
can be a good thing. It is a gift of unique
perspective!

God-Bless,

That's the way to look at things, Ghosthunter. May the smile on my face continue to grace it until my emotions take a toll on me!
