Great attention grabbing thread title

However I stared a job 11 months ago and I followed the advice on this forum.

Guess what it worked.

I am on good or neutral terms with everybody in the job a new experience for me.

Right now I am relaxing and getting quite drunk and enjoying it alone.

As regards this attention grabbing thread and the over the top tone it is my way of rebelling against my routines.

One year after joining this community I am content with my life and I am very grateful.

I have no idea what the future holds but for people depressed on the spectrum like I was when I joined there is hope and I would love to help.

PS catch me when I am sober.

To add one last thing I have a rule I only drink one day out of seven and I do have the odd bad day but I am thankful for life.


As regards Alex Plank Thank You.

Just to add one more thing if and when this community helps us we should stick around to show other people light and the end of the tunnel.

Honestly I can't remember it all but what I took from it was to be more aware or other people feelings.

I was also honest about being on the spectrum.

As regards people taking advantage of me I decided to nip that in the bud but it did not happen in my new job anyway.

Lastly if you do insult somebody sorry goes a long way.
