I strongly agree with Space. Being an Aspie is NOT a legitimate excuse to be pathetic. And it is never too late to start making changes to your life and fixing it. s**t happens, deal with it, and stop blaming everyone else for something that is YOUR OWN responsibility. Yes it is a hell of a lot of hard work to deal with it, but it is ultimately very rewarding. It takes time, effort and perseverance, but it is well worth it, and even if it is hard work, it is still more enjoyable and self-satisfying than defeating yourself by not even trying, or constantly complaining while doing nothing to solve it, etc.
