I always think of how my life would be like if I never had mild autism. I would have more friends, I would go to a better school, I would have lost my virginity by now, and I wouldn't get treated like a 12-year-old when I'm 21.

The friends I have are either creepy clingy or ignore me. I never have a normal, happy medium.

If I cannot be normal, I want to at least see how my life would be like if I was.

I know it's impossible to do, but these thoughts can't stop running through my head and I deserve to know!

    Look dude, just be yourself and do the best that you can. Do you really want to see what life would be like if you weren't autistic? I've got the solution right here:

    Save up just enough money to leave your home and move to a town where no one knows you. Get an apartment by yourself. Find a job. Meet friends. Tell NO ONE about being autistic. If your autism causes problems for you at work then play it off as just being "weird" or "stressed" or "tired" or whatever. If your autism causes problems with you relationships with friends, then play it off as "just your personality". Just continue to live your life the best you can.

    My point is, THAT'S WHAT ALL OF US HAVE TO DO ON A DAILY BASIS. OUR PROBLEMS MIGHT NOT HAVE NAMES LIKE "AUTISM", BUT BELIEVE ME--WE'VE GOT SOME PROBLEMS!!!

    I'm not trying to minimize your struggle in life. I'm just saying that we all have our own different struggles that impede our performance at work, school or in relationships. You've got a chance like the rest of us. Make your dreams come true if you can.

    the two comments above are right. also, think of how lucky you are to be born at a time where you actually get a diagnosis and the help you need, compared to people a few years older than you who had to go through life without one, with no understanding either. there are alot of great figures in history that are now though to have been mildly austistic.

    You should embrace your differences, not feel bad about them. Like the above comment, stay positive. Whenever I feel bad about a difference or issue with myself...I ALWAYS think of how LUCKY I am. Weird I know, but meaning I could be much worse off. There are SO many people who are very seriously sick, physically handicaped, dying of excruciating illnesses, starving..etc. Its hard to think of those issues, but it really puts things into perspective.

    As far as your friends, if you dislike them so much get yourself out there & find some new friends. And being a virgin is something to be PROUD of. Wait until you fall in love. Theres nothing wrong with that.

    No one is normal. I have a blind nephew who is also autistic. He is 9 and has friends. I've learned people like u when u r positive about yourself. Get over being a vergin... In today's time it's a good thing. U will lose it eventually... Hopefully to someone u love.
