What's that one thing you're hoping to achieve in your lifetime?
I really want to write a book on autism for children and adults to turn to as a sort of support and safety net, as we have no support.
I think this idea would be good, especially as you can read on your phone so you could have it with you all the time.
I'm also hoping to achieve a lot within charity. I'm eager to raise awareness for certain things, something I have started already this year.
What about you guys?
Writing a book on autism to provide support and awareness is such a meaningful goal. It's incredible how technology allows us to carry valuable resources like your book right on our phones for easy access anytime, anywhere.Your dedication to making a difference through charity work is commendable as well. Raising awareness and advocating for important causes can have a significant impact on the lives of many. [edited by moderator]
At the moment volunteering for Healthwatch with their Autism project. Love it but get a bit addicted and go splat. But so want to finish it. Also have started organising art classes for people. Want to at least do some. Have done a couple.
Am doing a Pan Optic view of science as a hobby interest. Pan Optic view of science is finding out what science is all about.
I want to experiment with music (guitar) to see if it can be fun.
The main thing I want to achieve is overcoming my muscle spasms.
Best wishes to you and hope you are free from the turmoil.

I would love to actually look forward to waking up in the morning and be able to enjoy the days ahead. Hopefully moving to Cornwall this year and a new start. Would like to buy a wood turning lathe and make bowls. I have restored a lot of classic cars for other people, have never done one for myself, that’s on my want to achieve list.
As I consider becoming a mum to my son to be my biggest and best achievement, it's less about what I want to do and more about what I want to feel, which is to feel happy and content with the rest of my life irrespective of how it plays out. There are things I would like to do, such as tackling my jungle of a garden if I can muster the energy, and creating an area near my garden shed in memory of my dad. As he and my son had assembled the shed (not an easy task), I feel it would be a fitting way of posthumously expressing my gratitude.
I wish you well with your desire to write that book Niblets. It's a fantastic and commendable thing to want to do.
I'd like to be able to live free of mental health issues. Seems to be something I am plagued with.
Good luck with your book. We definitely need more improvement in the health sector.
It would be good if I could find a way to turn my living experience into something inspiring, helpful to others or something with a positive impact.
As I'm retired it is a retrospective view. I have had relatively few ambitions and I am grateful that I achieved them all. As much by blind luck as anything else. I wanted to go to university, get a PhD, work in an interesting and socially beneficial job, make a, if ever so small, addition to the sum of human knowledge, get married and have children.
I want to be the best me I can. I've danced with Corporate Ambition, but never left First Base.
Hmmmm, well being old and grey, there is less before me than behind me and if only I had I known then what I know now and all that...I was diagnosed at the grand old age of 56.
That said whilst I did not achieve a host of things I had had on the agenda at 20, life threw me some curve balls and I did achieve a whole host of other things I hadn't planned on despite some very autistic obstacles I now clearly see.
As for the future, yes book is on my immediate must do while I can list too. Very different concept to yours - aimed at the medical professional and mental health services in relation to autism and drawn from lived experience. If I ever manage to sort out my own problems with access to health care...well, I'm coming up to retirement but kind of see a role trying to help other autistic people do the same.
