Well, you are very aware that you have that issue, therefor you have that ability to make some changes in your life, even if it does seem very difficult at first. And it will.
Off-topic (just call me Captain Obvioius):
I've made my life this way because I've already tried everything else. I am 33 now, and I had to stop trying to be something I'm not about 4 years ago (only before then I didn't have a clue). I now have zero stress and I'm significantly happier. I found out about Asperger Syndrome in early 2006 and I was diagnosed in April of that year. Up until about that time, I thought that I was basically normal and so I just kept trying and I kept trying, but I kept failing and failing. I was miserable, angry, stressed out, and I was generally unpleasant to be around at times. I was one of the most hated people on the internet everywhere I tried to go (but I didn't know why back then, but now I do and that realization caused me to change).
Today, I think I can finally say that I get it now. I think I understand the way I am supposed to live in order to be happy. The minute I try to start doing "normal" things, I begin to regress back to being the other way, and now that I've had a taste of the way I am now, there's no way I'm going back.
Most people would be miserable living my life, but I love it. I think that this is the limit of what I can handle without having too much stress. I used to play video games too, but I had to quit doing that because I can take them too seriously (it seems like I can't help it) and it results in some pretty bad rage at times. I haven't played any game since about February 11th.
So yeah, my diagnosis in April of 2006 helped me to get to know myself. Even before early 2006 when I first learned that I might have this, I was usually a wreck inside because I didn't have a clue why I am the way I am and why everything is sometimes impossible, such as holding down a job.
I don't mind posting this in public because I love this place.
