There are times in our lives that as much as we want to be able to change things, we just can’t do that. We must accept things even as they may be challenging for us and manage them the best as we can because we have to accept that we do not always have control of everything in our lives.

Recently, in life finding happiness has come quite easily for one reason or another because I guess I have just chosen to radically accept what is in my life, even if it may be challenging due to things out of my control.

Part of being an adult is being able to make the choices that you want to in life. There are times that for one reason or another, you just do not want to do something. Accepting the fact that if you don’t want to do something as long as it is able to be avoided is indeed perfectly acceptable.

For many reasons in my life I have always wondered which of the disability communities I have lived in. Throughout life, I have been given a host of diagnoses alongside of being autistic that has placed me in the gamut of many services that for one reason or another confuses me greatly and questions my competence by others.

Sometimes, it seems that there is a lot of work put in to do the right things, yet there seems to be no light at the end result. However, I am pleased that there is not only progress, but other changes happen to my body that result in me requiring less things in order to be well.

As an adult and moreso as an autistic adult, it can be hard to conceptualize reality and realize that there is a point that there are things that must be done in life, whether we like to do them or not, we can not avoid the things that sometimes produce anxiety and the unknown.

It can be hard to imagine that I have been living on my own for nearly 5 years now, but for the majority of the time I have been functioning well. Except for falling through the whirlwind of not taking care of my mental health, it is quite luckily that I had not gotten into trouble with the legal or other system. When well, I do quite a lot independently.

Sometimes in the grand scheme of things, it can be hard to keep strong and do what is needed in order to be well. It can be easy to fall into a trap of dysregulation and fall towards a path of destruction when you can not seem to get a grasp of the matters at hand.
