Sought through stim suppression and social skills training to improve our conscious contact with the Neurotypical God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out. (Basically, become a robot.)

10: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it. (Obsessively analyze every social interaction for signs of Autistic "failure.")

9: Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. (Unless, of course, they're still traumatized by your lack of social graces.)

Oh yeah. The 12-steps in Autism Anonymous (AA), right?
