Does anyone here feel they have been robbed of a normal life?

I do, autism has stopped me from doing so many things that neurotypical people seem to do.

  • Yes, but there is nothing I could do about it then or now. I doubt that if I had been diagnosed in my teens, there would have been much that could been done. If there had then maybe I would have had a more varied career (instead of staying at the same company for 32 years) been more adventurous going abroad and had better luck with woman - mainly just not realising someone was interested :( .

    Its been a pain having social skills where all interaction goes through some sort of extended analysis delay, so that I'm simply not on the ball at all :(
