The symptoms of my asperger's been declining very gradually for my whole life. I no longer experience social anxiety. However, there are other forms of anxiety. My overall level of anxiety peaked at 15. My happiness peaked from 18 to 24 because it was at 25 that I realized I'd ruined my life and I can never get the lost decade back.

Yes, but I think it's due to increased expectations in young adulthood. One day you wake up, you're 18 and you are expected to be a responsible adult. That's hard enough on someone w/o challenges or delays. I'm not any less functional AS-wise since I was 17, I'm just expected to function at a way higher level now. (My anxiety has impaired my functioning, but that's another thread.)

Sometimes I kind of envy those autistics who never "grow up".
I know some aspies who are like that into their 30s. They still act like teenagers. I was just like them until a few months ago. Then I had a shocking epiphany. I just hope I don't get aspie burnout.

Are you sure the cause of your autism is environmental and not genetic?
