It’s funny, but six months ago – two even – I wouldn’t have been telling anyone, hey, I’ve got Asperger’s but now I’m so much more confident about telling people. Maybe it’s because I’ve found the positive and I’m doing something about it?

I do have an amazing ability to stay positive and enthusiastic in the face of things. It took me 3 years, 348 applications, and 48 interviews to land my first full time, proper job – that might have been partly to do with Asperger’s I don’t know – and after every disappointment my parents were amazed at how quickly I would bounce back. I think this is an amazing strength of mine. It takes a lot to get me down… 🙂

I think it’s brilliant that you’re able to just get on with things and look for solutions. Never in these pages have you given even a hint of feeling sorry for yourself, which is very impressive – I could hardly blame you for having a “why me?” whinge now and again. You just seem to take it all in your stride and look for ways to compensate. Go you! 🙂
