Adam's story from The Autism Project highlights the power of support in neurodiverse individuals. His reflections on his life journey are insightful, read along to learn more.

“For years, I thought I was just… getting by.”

Adam didn’t know he was autistic until he was 40. For decades, he masked, adapted, and quietly navigated work, family, and social life. When he and his daughter received their diagnoses, it was both confusing and illuminating — a chance to finally understand himself, his challenges, and his strengths.

In this installment of Voices of the Spectrum, Adam shares his journey of surviving, learning to thrive, and discovering what true support looks like for autistic adults. His story is honest, heartfelt, and a reminder that every autistic voice matters.

If you are one of the many people thinking about your New Year's Resolutions for 2026, take a page from our holistic, person-centered, person-driven goal setting culture. Eliminate the "should's", and go deeper. What do You truly want more of in 2026?
Focus on the things that make you happy, that contribute to your Holistic well being: physical, emotional, interpersonal, financial, and psychological. Here is one example, but your goals should reflect you:

Make a new friend
Do something outside at least once per week
Give (love, time, talent, money)
Be conscious of the foods that nourish your body, choose wisely
Write down what you value and spend your money on that
Bring laughter and music into each week
When your mind and body ask you to rest, rest...

Here's to a Happy, Healthy New Year to all of you!
