Just quoting myself here from the 'Self Worth' thread:
'There is also the question of life achievements/stages eg. degree, career, buying a home, marriage, having children.
If we don't 'achieve' these stages, I think that can unfairly affect our sense of self worth.'
We say we haven't achieved the usual life stages but maybe they need to be different for us because we aren't so likely to just fall into those particular 'achievements'.
We can make our own. Re-write the 'achievement rulebook'.
So, what do you see as an achievement for yourself in the light of your autism?
Or what do you think is an achievement generally for us autistic souls?
I will start with connection - I have connected quite profoundly I think with animals, insects and trees.
