What are you supposed to do with your life if you have autism?

Hi I’m really sorry to see you’re struggling with this rn. It’s something I struggle with as well as I am in a very similar situation to you and I know how daunting this can feel.

The thing that has helped me most is what my therapist told me. Set Small Goals. Instead of focusing on finding a grand purpose, try setting small, more achievable goals. It could be as simple as taking a short walk, organising a space in your home, or learning something new online. For instance last year I learned to paint! I’m not very good at it lol but it’s become a new hobby for me and I went from having nothing to do each day to now doing some painting each day.

Each accomplishment can build a sense of purpose. And it’s a victory for me, a small one, but every victory should be celebrated.

Each step forward, no matter how small, can contribute to a greater sense of purpose over time.

Remember, it’s ok to seek help, whether from friends, family, or even professionals. You don’t have to go through this journey alone. Your willingness to keep pushing forward is a testament to your strength, and I believe there’s a path to finding purpose that’s uniquely yours.

Take each day as it comes. You will get there x.
