What are some of the happy sides of your condition?

I am getting diagnosed! So many signs are adding up. It makes sense, even reading some of your experiences on here I can relate. I really want to thank people in my life, for helping me get this far.


Are there any recent wins in your life? What makes you happy? I had a chat with my nurse, and we talked about the beneficial aspect of focusing on the positive aspects of life. I really want to benefit people in life more now, knowing the barrier has been identified and is slowly lifting.

Some context here, my special interest is Buddhism. For some reason I feel blessed right now, my focus for the past 4 years has been on improving myself through various means. Not that autism makes everyone feel down-hearted or pessimistic-nihilist, it was the fact it was undiagnosed that was having a negative impact for me.

@Omph

Hello! Congratulations on your diagnosis. I am glad that you are possitive on your proccess.

I am not diagnossed and not sure If I am a very functional autist or a very disfunctional neurotypical. 😝

I guess I am at the frontier. Answering your question I am very happy with my logical and pattern oriented brain, I can provide value to others in ways very few people can and that allow me to make a difference for the good.

I am also very proud of my ethics and values, friends are friends in the full meaning of the world. Once I allow someone in my life that person counts with me for ever. Never cheat, never turn my back on them.

I am also very happy to be able to learn to it full meaning, not to pass an exam, get a grade or please others, but to trully understand what I am learning and connect it with other things I know and discover many things other things I want to learn.

Those are some possitive things I like, I hope many more will participate in this post to check what they love about themselves.

Hugs! 😊
