  • My husband is autistic. We used to have arguments about how he would offer solutions to my problem instead of listening and just being there for me. Then we realized he has autism and that’s literally the best way (in his view) to show emotional support. I learned to see it as a sign of love when he offers a solution, and he learned to sometimes just say “that sounds hard” and hug me. We don’t argue much anymore.

    Double majored in business/accounting and psychology. Went into financial auditing (not my passion but paid well). Hated my life for 12 years. Decided to go for a graduate degree in social work. Am now a very happy psychotherapist even though I make less money.

    Moral of the story? It’s never too late to switch if you end up hating your original choice.
