I’ll start: I finished a special-needs college program that teaches life skills, and I graduate in May.

Anyone can post something they’ve accomplished right here.

I exploited my lack of social skills (and lack of a social life) to earn a university degree.

I am thinking I would like to do something to help children with autism and other special needs. I think I would be empathetic to their needs, even though I don't have a formal diagnosis. I knew what it was like to be different.

Congratulations on that. School can be challenging because of the socializing involved.

When I was younger I never wasted my money on drinking and clubbing, instead I've been saving since I was 16. So when I pay bills, rent, medication and groceries, I still have enough money left over each month to be able to treat myself, go shopping, go on vacations or trips, and buy gifts for loved ones. And I only work part-time!

I didn't have a thesis. I had to take a comprehensive examination. It took me three times to pass, but I did it.
