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?
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.
Good luck with your book. We definitely need more improvement in the health sector.
