Age 32-33 (1) (Year 2008) Going to the placement office again

I spent new year's holiday (during prolonged unemployment) totally burnt out.

I went to the local placement office for an advice.

I'd made it as a rule to go there once a month and meet with a staff member for an advice and information about job search, and share my anxiety about my future. By that time I'd begun to doubt about there was no future for me, feeling like a checkmate in looking for a job.

The staff would encouraged me that there was no need to despair because things didn't seem to improve one day.

Now I notice that I was then at least physically healthy, and athletic enough to be capable of run a half marathon, and go skiing if there was any opportunity. At that time, I couldn't notice the value of my physical fitness.

This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
