Drawing for fun/practice I want to have an art studio in the future

writing songs I also want to be a musician as well

Reading books

work on lego sets

possibly metal detect agian

and, try and, walk every day

hopefully, I can make a routine with these so my depression can ease down because I'm at stage at my life where I can move on my own but, me being autistic kinda sets me back so I'm also setting goals tomrrow for my careers I want to do in the future making steps on what I can do

so just wanted to share this for today

Thank you for such a positive post. It never ceases to amaze me how autistic sufferers manage their lives. It seems to me you make a much better job of it than us so called 'normal' folk. But what is any disability other than being different? And who dares say anyone is 'normal'? We all have our hang-ups and times when we feel different to everyone else. Do what you want to do, and the very best of luck to you. Success in anything comes with the will to do and perseverance.

A friend of mine is a psychiatrist in his own practice, and he said to me once, what is considered normal anyway, and he said who am I to dictate what is normal, as what is normal for one person, may not be normal for another person.

Absolutely! If we look around us at the way people behave we soon realise there is no such thing as 'normal'. It's why I always put the word in inverted commas. There are as many different behaviour patterns as there are people. People who think they are 'normal' are so often the ones who are not. We live in a dysfunctional world so who can dictate what is 'normal'. We need to take each other as we are, warts and all. No judgements. The man said, 'judge not lest thee be judged'. We all have opinions and values in life, but to try and change another to our way of thinking is wrong. We can only suggest as we do on this site.
