The last day of Golden Week holidays this year for me was visiting 5 ward offices of Sendai by bike.
I went on the cycling in the afternoon.
I visited ward offices of Taihaku, Wakabayashi, Miyagino, Aoba, and Izumi in that order.
I got lost a few times between Taihaku and Wakabayashi, and it took an hour and 20 minutes.
From then on I didn't get lost. It took me 20 to 30 minutes from one office to the next office when I didn't get lost. The total distance of this ride was 64 kilometers and the total time was four and a half hours, taking much longer in distance and time I had planned, 45 kilometers and 3 hours. The total distance I rode today is 96 kilometers, for in the morning I had already rode another root, visiting two city branch offices. Originally I had planned to ride all 7 ward and branch offices of Sendai one time, on Friday or Saturday. I actually divided into two rides, in the morning, visiting the two branch offices, getting home once, having breakfast, attending a worship service, then started the second ride of visiting the five ward offices, as soon as the service ended at 1 p.m.

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.
