Hi,
Those that know me, will be aware that I've not long had my diagnosis and overall so far, it’s been a positive experience.
Since then, so much has fallen into place for me, the job difficulties, the misunderstandings, the depression and perpetual feeling of not being able to cope with the most basic of lifes difficulties.
This past year has been both a revelation and a relief of sorts, but when faced with such knowledge, do we really have the power to change things for the better?
I'm late diagnosed and desperate to make the second half of my life a different experience.
By different, I don't mean in my personality, but by the quality of my life and by reducing my vulnerability. I’ve always been generous and I believe kind to other souls, but is that a fundamental part of my vulnerability?
As New Years Eve is upon us, I have to ask, is this a wishful whim perpetuated by the tradition of new starts or is it a realistic prospect that the quality of life could change with the knowledge I’ve now gleaned?
Is learning to feel at ease with the level of depression or anxiety you experience delusional rather than well-adjusted; as has been suggested in earlier posts, or is acceptance of ones condition and associated difficulties the way to move toward greater Happiness & Well-being?
As we move forward from 60 years of identification, indicators, analysis, co-morbid conditions and biological factor research, are we really on the verge of moving into a new era of Autism where Happiness and Well-being is not only the primary focus, but an achievable goal?
Tell us your positive experiences and share your hopes for the future
