as i grew up i am finding more and more things really challenging for me.when i was young i was too shy.i didnt know what to talk about as i grew up now i dont have a communication skill.i cannot let my photos be taken cause camera flash and the thought of someone looking at me gives me uneasy feeling.i am not able to build relationship with people cause of my AS.i will be unable to do a job because of this.i have already lost my part-time job due to not understanding social communication rules.Ihave not hit mental maturity even at 23.i cant decide for myself.i am unable to take care of my own or do my own work.i find doing things on my own rather difficult.i can easily get lost in path.it takes me many times to memorize my way home from school.
are there more things i wont be able to do due to AS and memory problem?

I can relate but don't just think ' I can't do that because of AS'. Sure it makes more things challenging, but there are ways to work through it.
I was shy when I was young but now I sometimes socialise. Sometimes I don't know what to say and my friends are ok with that. You can learn a few communication skills to get you by. Other people here with AS have jobs and live on their own, and I think that's what keeps me going.
I'm unemployed and live at home, and I know it will take time for me to get a job and move out to the city, which is where my friends live.

You can get a better memory through memory games, even the simple card game of memory or brain training games on Ninendo DS or Wii. Or even buy a brain training book. You can even write things down. My short term memory isn't as bad as it used to be and all I do is read.

Don't give up just because it seems impossible to do things now.

What I do is make myself short term and long term goals to reach. I get less depressed because I'm constantly trying to reach a goal.
