Hope

The are three reasons why I give hope (at least, but these are the main ones). Here they are in a three-sentence reason for each one.
1. I give hope to people who have a unique ability and want to overcome it:
I am structuring myself as much more than a lover of people, I am structuring myself as a pioneer, an up-and-coming strong activist for the disenfranchised, and a hope for the people who have unique abilities. People with unique abilities see me as a role model, a funny guy, and a well-liked human doing. And I wouldn't have as many friends in this position if I didn't have autism.
2. I give hope to parents:
If a parent has a child or a teen or even an adult that struggles with autism, I can give them a smile and kind words. If a parent has a child with autism or a young adult or a grown-up that has behavior problems, I can share that it gets better because of my history. Even those people without autism I can show parents that I continue to get better and their children can too (i.e. my roommate's Mom, people with Down's Syndrome's parents, etc.)
3. I give hope to the people in agencies:
Due to the successes I have they see that it is possible. I have moved through a group home, a supervised apartment situation, and into self-direction, and each step has been braver and braver. I have thrived in these situations and hives hope to individuals who are struggling.
There are other situations but these are the main ones. I am a beacon of hope.
