Frankly, I think it's better.
The sole frustration for me is having a productive career. I've always been able to work, but always at near-poverty wages because I can't seem to get into a good job (or keep one I manage to land).
However, the ability to live alone, by my rules, and dealing with more mature people than I was exposed to as a teen is a big improvement. |

My adulthood had been heaven compared to my childhood and adolescence. I was treated like crap for going on about my special interests as a child. I was starting to think that I wasn't allowed to have them. My teenage years weren't any better. I was wanting to do my own thing, but my parents wanted me to conform to society. I also didn't feel that I was allowed to have any special interests, and that I had to keep them to myself, because that's what normal people do. Things have gotten a lot better for me, since I've been living on my own. I can do what I want, and I don't have to answer to anybody.

| There's way too many other variables besides AS/autism to determine that. I find functioning independently difficult right now but it has much more to do with depression than autism. |
