Life is an unexpected journey and we don’t know what people will do a long a single person’s way. I have heard about some people’s jealous feelings toward someone else who is successful. For some reason jealousy goes a long way when the person becomes enraged to hurt the other person. Instead of being jealous, do something good for yourself. Being who I am and the accomplishments I have made to date, there are many more accomplishments I am going to succeed at. For starters, when my school finally starts and ends the first class, I will have successfully taught Adults with ASD who will have jobs in Ultrasound Technology. Moving forward I can ask other technologists I know to teach more Adults with ASD who have an interest in a good career.
It is important to have a secure career and a job for anybody. When you see other Adults with ASD not working in a career earning their own money it makes you wonder where the current school system has failed.
Adults on the Autism Spectrum is a growing people as the young grow older. We need to start with early intervention in toddler years so that when the young toddler with ASD becomes an Adult, they can succeed regularly in a career earning them a living. Whether this is in Ultrasound technology or some other career, it is still a living…

Stephanie, I believe that just being able to perceive success where it does not initially or immediately appear to flourish is an “authentic” “struggle.” To affirm life, like Jason clearly has, and say “Yes!”–how can you put him down like that (or anyone else for that matter) and try to beguile your way into converting him into such decadence? Shame on you and your own personal weakness. Do not denounce life, but affirm it! Clearly you are frivolous in the face of both success and struggle.
As for you Jason, I’m sure I did not need to intervene, but viewing this website as a motivational website, I just felt I needed to do my part.
Never say Never… again!!!
That is because no one gives them a chance…
Sorry, I’m tired of hearing about “autistic” people’s faux “struggles” to success. I’m tired of hearing that it is merely their “hard work” that got them there when that doesn’t have much to do with it: being mildly affected, having support and being financially well-off never has anything to with it (when that is most of it in reality).
(And there is plenty of living proof of autistic people who are not successful and never will be.)
