What is your advise for a good life both on and/ or off wp ? Mine are stay true to yourself, take some criticism and avoid trolls and haters. And for wp never underestimate the strength of autistics.

Find a diverse and large range of things you appreciate, enjoy and love as you'll have endless things to turn to. Salvage at least one upside to every drawback. Exercise your body and mind and don't consume what will ruin them. Do things for others and give. Don't flip out over opinions at odds with yours and take none of your beliefs to their extreme conclusions. Try not to let your heart bleed for everything. Nourish your relationships. Don't stay up all night refreshing webpages. Give animals your appreciation. If you don't yet gamble or take a recreational drug, don't start. Force yourself to get out and do things slightly earlier than usual.

Staying true to yourself and accepting criticism. Very good advice. Also, getting out and trying new challenges. Never give up despite any setbacks along the way. Don't do illicit drugs.

Set and accomplish your own goals instead of those placed upon you by society.

Check your expectations of other people and make sure that they are realistic. Specific to WP: don't expect people to be nice, understanding, smart, eloquent, compatible, logical, or caring just because they are autistic.

Try not to be too hard on yourself - or others. We all make mistakes. :D

So true. Every mistake is a learning experience.

Focus on something you love, and try to meet people who share the same interest.

Try not to be bitter and twisted, find forgiveness for those who have done you wrong and just keep moving forward.

Have no regrets.

Don't be afraid of making a right dick out of yourself every now and then.

Accept things the way they are.

Realize that you can only do one thing at a time.

Never pass a fault.

Realize that you're not the center of the universe.

Focus on the present.

Strive to love people, not please them.

Only you can decide what you want to be a part of.

Don't worry about people you think are wrong. If they are, they will figure it out eventually.

If some one says they're better than you, tell them to prove it.

Don't worry about being a man or a woman. Just be a person.

When things seem to get out of hand put the phone in airplane mode
and find a safe place to sleep outside under the stars.
