Autism and a life worth living.

Thane Impala

What makes live worth living for those with autism? Life seems so unbearable, unenjoyable and hopeless with all the difficulties presented to me everyday.

I have anxiety, depression, ptsd and tinnitus and it's got to the point where I've been considering Dignitas as a solution. So what makes life worth living for you in the context of your condition?

Most crushing to me is the stigma, the people that stare at you, the lack of understanding and the general hopelessness in living with difficulties in every aspect of your life.

  • Being productive or constructive, to society at large or my local community. The very thing that this UK government conspires to make difficult for people like me despite all their rhetoric. At home I try to keep up hobbies, but OCD and executive function issues conspire to make those difficult.

    Making music is my salvation. I'm not great at it, don't achieve much.. but ' in the moment ' - it can be therapeutic. Rhythmic music also stimulates the Vagus nerve and I don't know the latest research, but in the past its been reckoned to have an impact on ASD symptoms..
