The last question I want to hear in an exam "What would you say if you were in his place?"

I had a difficulty to answer a question like "What would you say if you were the man in the picture." This made the question and answer section of an English test particularly hard time. Such a question remained as a trauma in my mind even though I finally passed through the interview test after almost 10 time attempts.

First I had a difficulty of imaging myself as someone else or in someone else's place, even though I was able to understand that they are structures to express an imagination typically against the fact.

Second, I was usually too quiet or too panicky to say something that someone else understand as speech in a particular language, when I met a particular situation. Also, I didn't really understand when a character in a story say a comment about a particular situation, some people around me are also likely to say in that way.

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.
