What is Success?

Edearl

Hi all,

I would be interested in the communities views on what success looks like for individuals with an Autistic Spectrum Condition, in a neurotypical world. It is obvious that we are continually marginalised by those that control a rather skewed version of what the objective facts are. 

All opinions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  • My idea of success is to be happy, take care of myself and the people around me, and have healthy relationships with my friends and family. 

    Many people consider me successful because I have a good job, but I spend 35 hours a week feeling dissatisfied, so I don't consider myself successful yet. I'm still looking for the job that makes me glad to go to work rather than dreading it every Sunday night.
