Rachel Anderson wrote this on Quora(it's just a part of a bigger post) about how life feels with autism ,how it affects your life and ability to enjoy it, function,and relate,and it describes my life and exactly how I feel. It could have been written by me, it's just soooo exact! I couldn't believe it.
Basically, I can just about live a normal life - not a successful or even a happy life, just a mediocre, puttering-along life - at the expense of severe fatigue and no little stress. I have to (quietly) celebrate the little victories, like having an unrushed shower, or drinking a cup of coffee while it’s still hot, or figuring out some complicated medical research report for a Quora answer, because if I didn’t, I’d have nothing to celebrate. Life would be a worthless grind, nothing but exhaustion and pain.
