Update on... Everything! Life, Stories, and Everything in Between · 4:26am Dec 17th, 2018

Howdy, folks! I more or less disappeared for a few months. A LOT has happened, but I have been very productive in many regards. :rainbowwild: Allow me to explain.

Life has come full circle for me. Starting, some may know this or not, but just two years ago today, I quit my old job of six and a half years before falling into a deep depression. During that time, my finances fell and my health matched it. Then in April 2017, I fell into a diabetic coma, my blood sugar was at 975, and I had to be hospitalized for a few days. To be blunt, I nearly died. While I was in that hospital bed, I knew things had to change, and it started with me. I vowed not to feel sorry for myself, but to be better.

Well, this is depressing, but it gets better. :duck:

Once I made a full recovery, I've had to make several changes to my life. I started eating right, exercised every day, and got myself healthy enough to where I no longer needed 3 insulin shots daily. I no longer needed any shots AT ALL. My next step was to get a job, one that I enjoyed.

Next bit is interesting. There is an organization in my town called Arts 'n' Autism led by a director named Jan Sikes. The organization is nonprofit, intent on helping children and adults help understand their condition(s) and thrive in public settings. Thing is, I have known the director of this organization for the majority of my life. She was my first teacher, and I was part of her very first unit on the autistic spectrum twenty-five years ago.

Reminder for those unaware, I am a man with autism. Technically, it's Asperger's, but we simply call it autism since it's a theme on the spectrum.

Now you know. Anyway, I went to her a year and a half ago in search for a job. After a month of learning what I was to do, I was hired as an assistant teacher. Funny how things work. I was a simple kid with autism, and now I am an adult helping children with the woman who was there for me since the start. Since then, I have grown. I'm a role model... strangely enough. I moved out of my house and found myself a beautiful (and very supportive) woman. We have been together for a year and a half as of today.

Just a video of me talking about autism.

Long story short, life came at me EXTREMELY fast. I was at my lowest point, and now I'm the happiest and most successful I've ever been. :pinkiehappy:

I didn't forget you guys! I just had to put everything on the barn-burner! I still have managed to write and work on the reboot. Speaking of which...

I will start releasing chapters on 2/1/2019. Looking forward to see how this goes!

Is that February 1st or January 2nd? So many international authors on site its hard to tell anymore.

Well first off: good for you, man. I read throughout the live long day but I get it. You need to take care of yourself and that's okay. Glad to hear you are in a good position now.

Glad to hear you're doing well! Looking forward to the reboot!

I believe it's February 1st, 2019 when the story gets put out.

It's awesome to hear that you're making a great progress with your health and your life. I look forward to your stories and hope you enjoy your holiday.

It's wonderful to know that you're back on track with your life.

Plus, what is the name of his story you're about to work on? Is it a sequel to the PS4 Spiderman game?

Wow! Good for you man! Glad to hear! Anyway, now I’m really looking forward to that reboot!

What an awesome comeback

Is that a new Spiders and Magic I see? It would be a shame if someone reviewed it.

Holy crap dude.. I'm so glad you are ok. I'm glad you got your life together and I am happy you are healthy and happy. I can't wait to see your more of your work

Good to see you're back, Maximus. Contact me on Discord at any point - KnightMysterio has my information on there.

Glad to know you're doing alright. And as someone who's on the autistic spectrum myself, I think its good that you've found a job you like that involves helping other autistic people and understanding their conditions. You should be proud. :twilightsmile:

Apart from that, I look forward to reading the reboot. Stay safe!

I'm happy for you. And I can't wait to see your next story!

Contact me on discord (as you have before)

I am really glad you are alright and got to tell that this entire article is quite something deep, dude. The life can be at times unfair, cruel treatcherous and give you a hard challegnges and at times a very bittersweat taste of reality and the others may be contemputous, also unfair and rather find ti much easier to critisize and distrust than giving you a chance to be trusted.

But......And as you have pointed on in a very idyllical manner thoughtout you Spider and Magic series via Peter, you just cant let all the negatives to take you down like that, otherwise we would soon sunk down right to the bottom, ending up broken, with no hope in faith in life at all. That wouldnt work like that. We all must be strong and do our best to deal with the life and the challenges it gives us by our ways, yet also we can just "hope" and than actually after some time also find out that life can also do right, be fair at all and we can meet up with lots of buch of very good people that can like, appreciate and love us those how we trully are in our inner cores. Which only and actually proves how bold, headtsrong and determined we really are with our lives and being able to fullfil our lives own desire and meaning, finding each of our rightful places in it.

Anyway, its good to hear that you actually might go on with your wiritng for the first time after a long time.

Does this actually means that you might eventually finish up that Equestrian Avengers: Shattered Dimensions and also.....Sorry to say it like that.......Start up with that "House of Parker" one hosts and drabbles?

Besides......However you are going to start up and write that Spiders and Magic Equestria girls, just please, whatever you do, you just might add Mane Six into that, like Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and of course Twilight. Just have always thought it just would be interresting with Peter hanging out with all the girls in human forms.

Yet.....However you write it down, I sure belive and having a faith in you it would be deffinitelly worth it to read.

Groundhogs day

So glad that you're back and everything is alright!:derpytongue2:

Talk about an amazing comeback...glad to hear you're doing well after reading all of this...well i find no more Spider-man image more fitting than this:chasingamazingblog.com/wp-content/uploads/Superior30_04.jpg

Good to have you back, Max. If you need help editing, I'm always around

Good to hear from you again and congrats on your success. Glad you found something that you enjoy and you’re doing so well on it. I have some experience when it comes to that subject myself, the two of us have something in common on that. Hopefully you’ll be more active, at least when you can, it didn’t feel the same without you around more. Good luck with your reboot, I’m sure it will make a lot of fans happy.

I'm glad your doing better bro
