Autistic Diplomat in Training
I used to wake up and be upset about it. Life was chaos and difficult, and rather touch and go the first few decades. (I realized a lot of it was high functioning autism at about 35. lol)
20 years later I am a happy man. Life is still chaos and difficult, but I do not care one bit. I am content, constantly moving forward, joyful, positive, and full of a deeply rooted love of life.
What happened?
20 years ago, I made an agreement with my wife that we would work together toward positive goals. We decided we would only discuss a problem with the goal to find a solution. (drama was kicked to the porch) We also picked up 'Lead the Field,' and listened to it constantly for a few years. My wife even made a ringtone which constantly reminded her to keep a positive attitude.
We have spent 20 years talking to each other about eeeeeeverything, and we are so in love it would make my younger self ill. lol Our disagreements are brief and infrequent now, and usually my fault. heh
Life is good, and I wish everyone could experience it as such. Life has not changed, but my interpretation of it sure has.
Be good to yourselves! You deserve it.
