I've been feeling down lately, I failed a driving license test on a thing which meant an automatic fail, if I had not done that I would have passed. Apart from that I have been feeling pretty empty about myself and my life lately.

I've decided to take a 1 semester break from accounting studies at university. Although I intend to make the break productive, I could be able to get work experience arranged by a local YMCA group working in accounting :D. I have made some social connections through the Aspie social group I founded and also by joining the Applied Science Club on campus which got me closer to a friend I made last year and meet some new faces as well.

An another thing I have kind of lost the desire to get well toned and all by working out at the gym, I just starting not to see the point of it anymore. I am at a healthy weight and body fat (73 kgs and 19% body fat). I would love very much to keep my weigh at that level, I am looking for physical activities maybe like bike riding every day or aerobics and yoga to keep myself active and my weigh down. Along with other issues I want to talk about to my university counselor when I see him next week.

You're right, variations in your exercise routine will help keep you motivated, so you've really solved that problem yourself!
You will just have to go for your driving test again. The majority of people don't get it right on their first go. Go with a clear mind, listen to your favourite music just beforehand. I did this and I passed!
You started an Aspie group yourself, I really admire that. I feel that it would be a difficult task. After all you've been through, I'm not surprised you're taking a break. And you will still be keeping yourself busy during that break! You have awesome drive and determination, qualities that will get you where you want to be in your life.
All the best to you,
renaeden.
