The happiest poll showed that the vast majority of us were very unhappy with our lives. So what do you find are your biggest challenges in your life?
Strangely enough I think my social skills aren't too bad, I have quirks and I balls up every now and then but I think I've got them nailed down quite well for someone on the spectrum.
Where I struggle the most is executive functioning. I'm now 25, I live with my parents still and I've yet to do the rite of passage of learning to drive a car and start my career. Like the outside world, I find the process to start these things to be extremely difficult and confusing, I also lack the motivation to start these things and instead prefer to retreat in my comfort zones. Because of these difficulties you can imagine I struggle daily with depression and anxiety, along with very low self esteem and confidence.
I'm getting help to overcome these things but it doesn't feel like it's happening at a pace I'd like, I guess I want to make up for lost time.
