These days, I can tell little about daily life and school life experiences, as an adult on the autism spectrum.
I think I actually have a lot I want to tell people, about how I struggled in people around me and with my negative feelings, and how I have learned the ways how social human beings typically do.
However I'm always thinking, "Maybe some time later. I'm too tired to put them into words. Sometime after I recover from my tiredness." whenever I get the means to tell or share: When I have a chance to write a blog post, and when I have a chance to meet somebody else with developmental disorders.
"Sometimes" would never come unless I begin to tell something about them, at least a smallest bits when I have a chance to tell. And what is the smallest thing I come up with about this subject?
When I was elementary school, I wasn't usually participate in chats with classmates, even though I spoke to some of them so many times.
I don't remember what I told them specifically, but I guess I spoke words somehow unsuitable words for conversation with the classmates.

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.
