Counting numbers (by ten) around one hundred thousand, from 98,304 to 101,534

The day before yesterday, when I had a bath, I counted from 32,768 to 32,868 one by one. I found it unexpectedly difficult in spite I only had to count one by one.

Today, I had planned to count a little bit bigger number.
When I was on the way home from work, I was thinking of the summation of 32,768 and 65,536 by adding each digit. Remembering carries without writing down on paper is a little bit difficult, but it was really a good brain training. They made 98,304.

Then I came up with an idea. If I count down from this number, it may be feasible to reach 100,000 when I'm having a bath. The difference was about 2,000, so counting up by ten was actually realistic.

I wasn't so confident with counting such a big number that I began to count from 98,304 a little while earlier than I actually had a bath. It was really difficult. Remembering ninety-eight thousand was so difficult that I mistook for ninety-thousand (90,000) for many times. I guess I also counted double near a hundred times, which means almost a third of the counts were incorrect.

I finally counted to 101,534 and then counted down from 200 one by one for cooling down. This was much easier than counting big numbers.

Slow Burst

My mental state is near burst. I sometimes make strange noises myself when I feel as if my brain were going to burst. I also feel that my mind is going to burst slowly with stresses from too many unreasonable things. One source of these stresses, I suppose, is the incompatibility with the standard way of socialization especially in business scenes and my characteristic sometimes described in the context of autism spectrum disorder. Even now, while I'm thinking that standard social skills in business scenes is worth learning, I scream to myself getting mad when I learn them.  Isn't just shaving my beards enough to be a salesperson? Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. 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.
