Turning Normal Slowly

You may be wondering why I haven't posted here for a while. The reality is that my initial excitement has become somewhat diminished because, although I am still getting physically fitter, I am suddenly very aware of my difficulties socially. I am certainly much more confident than I was a few years ago but I definitely have a long way to go. This is the reality of having an developmental condition such as autism - there are occasional periods of growth interspersed by swathes in which nothing much happens. This is why I have long since learned that accepting myself is a much more effective route to happiness than creating a myth of finding a cure.
