Finding Happiness With Autism

bmmartin2003

Growing up with both my autism and cerebral palsy, my life has been full of challenges. I really struggled to stay positive back in 2024, due to struggles with letting go and moving on. But in this post, I’m here to tell you, you can find happiness despite your struggles. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being your honest, authentic self. 

How do you stay positive and be your authentic self and also avoid/deal with negative thoughts?

  • I tend to keep myself busy and set immediate goals so I don't just mope/ruminate all the time. An example been right now I'm trying to motivate myself to list Pokemon cards on Vinted.  I find if I stagnate the negative thoughts become unbearable. 

    I find finding actual true happiness much, much more challenging than combating the negative thoughts.
