Hello,

I'm new here to WrongPlanet and relatively newly diagnosed with AS. I am not happy.

The diagnosis was not by choice and I am grimly determined to understand the diagnosis and solve its shortcomings in my life while appreciating the assets. I am here. Slowly inching toward a better understanding and acceptance.

I'm fiercely ambitious, strangled by what I have just learned is "autistic inertia" and deeply depressed because of it. I suspect Executive Dysfunction too.

When I wake up in the morning, I'm driven and ambitious. When I go to bed at night, I'm the same way. From dawn to dusk. Personal fulfillment is the achievement of goals, of creating, of building something solid. I don't have the kind of brain that can trick itself into thinking bad situations are a "blessing" or that it's wrong to aspire and one should be happy with the way things are. Autistic inertia is my greatest enemy.

I hope to get to know you and become a positive contributor to this community.

Hi there, and welcome.
Hopefully your determination will get you to some initial answers of this great puzzle quickly. I am pretty ambitious myself, but have my ups and downs.

Best wishes!
