There's so much uncertainty.
When you're autistic every part of your life has to be controlled. There's a reason for my current madness.
Things are out of control, people with links and access to things I've said on another message board, and this one as well, will be used against me if I do not get them arrested first.
I think competition and the need to be the best are sub-par motivations to reward. Of course I want the prize, which is the ability to learn and apply skills, to work, to earn, and to support a woman and maybe children.
A boy does not find these things to be the ultimate reward, but as you turn 20 you understand the joy in it. There's nothing better in life than earning and supporting.
It's the rush you get after winning a race, acing a test, or earning a paycheck. After buying a new car, house, moving up in life.
There's a sort of reward any time we achieve something we want to - the little feeling inside that says, "You did it!" It's disappointing that throughout life that feeling gets put aside, I think. Because we get used to it and so it's not a reward anymore.
I'm not saying that giving yourself a little treat is wrong... I'm the first person who'll decide that since I finished ... whatever, I earned myself an iced chai from people who know how to make it. 🙂

You can reward yourself for nothing.
