I swam 50 meter backstroke within 1 minute today for the first time.
I'm not good at backstroke. Last year my best time was 1'08 for 50 meter.
I had already been able to swim in 1 minutes in breaststroke, let alone freestyle and butterfly.
In recent 2 years, I have been to able to swim the back stroke slow and long, but didn't know how to swim fast.
In this weekend I practiced the kick and my time was getting shorter and shorter.

Today's swim
Warm up: 500m freestyle
50m Freestyle: 47 seconds
50m Backstroke: 58 seconds.
50m Breaststroke: 56seconds (I have been almost hurt my hip, due to hardworking).

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.
