The success I had was being diagnosed really. Anything more then no. I have Aspergers.
I have my bad days and good days and just accept it as that, I don't want to die, I want to try and enjoy this existence and if there's a will there is always a way I believe now.

Coping for me isn't seeing a therapist honestly, it's going out with other friends who are exactly in the same situation, other Aspies and people who GET it. They understand how hard it is sometimes, unity in something we all suffer with I have found is so important because it makes you not feel lonely, and there's people like you who you can go out and do things with and talk to while you're doing it and they actually care because they are your friend, not just someone doing their job being paid to pretend to care. You also learn coping strategies off others who have/had the problems you have, so other Aspie friends are incredibly important for me.

Therapists in my opinion don't seem to get it, and it's such an effort having to explain over and over again for them to just forget. I just think it's a waste of time and I'm always going to be better off going out and doing something with other Aspies, rather than sat at my PC moping and being depressed. If I have an autistic problem - I usually ask a few Aspie people and go with the most logical answer.

For me, feelings are illogical when they stop you from enjoying yourself, so I just try to ignore it because when you pay more and more attention to it for some reason it gets worse and worse.
