Re: Why people with AS/ASD shoud never give up....

You rock - you're awesome! Well done - yay!!!!!

Really pleased for you. It's a big thing to take on, but you are well up to it!

Reflecting on what others say, since coming across the AS issues, Jon has got a

new and much more challenging job in Germany, so we move out there mid July, and

he's joined a drama improvisation group, and enjoyed it so much, that we have

managed to find something similar out in Bonn, near where we are moving, so he

can continue it. That creative in/output he experiences, and I think the

liberty he feels doing the group really makes him so up beat and happy. It's a

big stress releiver. It's funny, I never thought that AS folks would be

'creative' but recently I have totally changed my mind, from seeing Jon bloom,

and reading about Numan and others.

I think it's a matter of finding what you are good at, and doing as much of it

as possible. I think that applies to all people, regardless of personal

pecadillos! I am still to find my personal vocation, but think it might be

being a mum. I've always wanted to have children, and I am starting to embrace

the fact that they may well be AS children, but with life coach training,

probation work, therapy and creative nature, I reckon I am finally up to the

challenges of motherhood, in a broad all encompassing sense, although obviously

I will learn lots as I go along. That's what we're hoping to do once we've

moved to Germany. Godwilling.

It seems like this is the year of positive change for so many people. Yay

- and yay to everyone else who's getting the good stuff this year. And to those

who aren't - Jon and I felt just like you last year, and several years prior, so

don't worry, it will come when the time is right, and when you are ready.

Big e-hugs to everyone!

three classes shy of the halfway mark, when the upper level accounting classes

are taken.

life will be that way forever - seemingly. I am an example of what can happen if

people work hard enough and don't give up in life. Good things happen to those

who wait - and that includes people like me and numerous others with AS/ASD.
