Do you have a story of overcoming AS?

Post Reply New Topic

Is there anyone here who really did overcome AS? If not totally, at least to some extent? Like... did you get married, made friends? Can you lead a normal life?

I have no social life. No friends. I'm awkward and don't have self-confidence.

I feel like I can't bear to live this way for more one or two years. I really want to change. That's why I'm looking for positives stories, so I can take them as an example.

Some of the friends I have also have autism so I feel like I can relate to them a little better than most NTs.

Are you an artist? It looks like it from your avatar.

I am an artist who currently has artwork on exhibit at a public government building. I also have an online store and just sold two prints this past Friday to a lady in another state. Have also had artwork exhibited in art galleries and museums.

So yes, there's hope for you!

I was really awkward in middle school. That is until I took up cross country and track.

Idk..for some reason running helped curb or alleviate some of the worst symptoms of AS.

Got married. Have a job. As for friends...well...I have some activity helping out in my church, and I communicate regularly on social media. However, I do not "hang out" with anyone except the hubby. I'm much too blunt and nerdy and tomboyish for most other women. I don't think I would be able to read their 80 million social cues!
