They're physicists or engineers of whatever. They excel at education, they get married, they don't get diagnosed until they're 40 or older.
Because they're not as autistic as us. They don't have what we have and their success only offers false hope to those who have failed all education miserably and live with their parents, receiving disability benefits or suffering in shitty bottom of the ladder jobs and never getting laid in their lives.
That's my opinion.
We might *look* successful - but it comes at great cost - normally constant bullying and abuse until we burn out and lose it all later in life.
Looking back, I would have been much better off on benefits without all the stress of trying so hard for so long.
Both your replies confirm my belief that I should give up on trying to be successful and just sit on the sidelines of life with my benefits until the grim reaper finally arrives. You told me earlier that being faced with certain death made you value your life. I think I'd just be ecstatically happy.
i have given up on being successful.
I just work. I am working now, testing a web service right now.
I constantly struggle every day to keep up with my IT team.
Life is not easy for 99% of people, it hasnt been for 100s of years.
But you have a choice to be happy or not, to suffer or not.
Marcus Aurelis go read his stuff. eg "Alexander the Great and his slave. They both die"
meaning we all have a life thats it.
I just want to work and be humble.
