It’s difficult to see the benefits of being autistic when it’s the accumulation of negatives overtime that make life so difficult and tiring. People often write about our strengths, and I suppose they mean well. However, when I was very young, I had this crazy idea that I’d work hard, go to university, get married, have kids, have lots of friends and enjoy a wonderful career. It never happened. Autism got in the way.
