It's not until I became adult I'm able to swim in a relaxed way

After I swam at a pool, I was dazed, and I've forgotten the ideas for a blog posts.

I went to swim for the first time in three weeks.
I walked the way of 5.6km to the pool there and back, and swam 1.2km.

When I went to school (more than 25 years ago) swimming was an exercise far from relaxing.
It took a lot of energy to keep myself floating on the water and moving forward.
I was a slow swimmer, but I was able to swim a long distance even though my form was probably next to drown.

I continued to go to swim after I entered university.
Year by year, although my vitality has been on the decline, I've found myself swimming more relaxed way, sometimes even more relaxed than walking to work, and keeping on being able to swim a long distance.

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.
