Autistic anons that actually enjoy life: What should I do about autism?>Mind fog everyday>Not exactly in pain but reality itches every damn second>Super low stamina>Only interests in life are toy collecting and Photography, kinda Abandoned both due to lack of either money energy or time>Self employed college dropout, living with my motherI feel like every day it's just slow torture, I'm 30 I've been through several therapists but I get the feeling that they never had any idea what autism actually feels like so all they did was to lecture me about shit I was already aware ofI've been trying to find a therapist who specializes in NDs but they are fucking expensive of course which is why I would like for some autistic people to give me tips on how the hell to actually live a life and not just survive
>>34444861Tbh anon what you're describing sounds more like ADHD than autism
Where dya wanna be in 5 years time? 10? 15? What under your belt? 20? 40? 60? Kids? Lifestyle? Location? Duties? Hours spent on what? What dya gotta get done before you die?If nothing then what are you flailing around for, if you choose nothing then you choose nothing. If you don't (choose nothing) then answer up>how the hell to actually live a life and not just surviveLife is always about survival. You survive for X Y and Z. When you don't have X Y and Z, you don't care about survival anymore. What's your X Y and Z? Find that shit or die tryin'Do you want to make someone happy? Do you want to make someone repent? Do you want to change someone? What do you want?
>>34444878Dunno really, my diagnosis was like 17 years ago, I have never doubted being autistic because all of the social struggle is there too
>>34444898I guess I just want to live without the feel of having a heavy physical burden handicapping me. I don't really know if regular people are able to live like this, but I have never met a healthy NT person that described his life as endless suffering unless it's about emotional stuff like self steem or something like that. I do have some emotional issues but the main thing about me is my senses making me going crazy and tiredI don't know what to expect of the future, I'm actually pretty scared of it because it feels like my condition is taking control of my whole personality and I don't know if I would be able to endure that when Im older
>>34444861Speaking from experience, all you can really do is learn to live with it, accept it for what it is, and get supports if you can. You can't change or cure autism, but you can manage living with it.>>34444878The two are common comorbids.
>>34446387So either reduce the physical burden, or/and have/find an XYZ that makes it easier to overlook/focus away from the burden
