Peace & Happiness

a bit isolated....

100%. This is how I feel.

No worrying about what other people think about you, and enjoying your life.

The Athenian legislator and statesman Solon is supposed to have said, 'Call no man happy until he is dead.' That aside, finding a fulfilling occupation that suits autistic strengths and doesn't excessively penalise autistic weaknesses, and finding someone congenial to share your life with seem to me to be the basic requirements.

Self-acceptance does give me peace as well.

As for happiness, I feel happy when I can pursue my intense interests.

Also from helping those that suffer, when I can manage to.

Sometimes peace and happiness occur together, such as during meditation.

What I am living through now, only spending time with supportive people of your autism and spending most of your time with yourself. Its truly amazing. 

I think not having to work ad being able to spend most time pursuing special interests.

For me, walking my dogs somewhere peaceful.

Reading a good book.

Researching things of interest such as canine cognition and behaviour, and archaeology.

Visiting an archaeological museum that has artefacts of interest.

Freedom from guilt.

One where I didn't have to deal with the stupidity of others, where I didn't get asked stupid questions or have assumptions made about me.

On a light note, without depth of thought.
