In my own life?
Some of it was hard work. I put myself outside my comfort zone and pushed myself to try things that by their nature were very difficult for me, like helping run camps, teaching classes, and public speaking. When the opportunity arose, I seized it, and worked hard at it because it did not come easily to me. And through those efforts I did become successful at my job as an autism advocate.
A lot of it was also luck; I was fortunate enough to be born in a first world country where workplaces could meet my special needs, and where there was a welfare safety net and universal healthcare there for me when I needed them.
