Childhood trauma and autism

I'm really sorry to hear you're going through a difficult time. I found it very difficult to trust people for a long time (aside from my close family), but I've been lucky to find a partner who I can trust wholeheartedly.

I know it's hard to see it when you've been badly hurt, but there are good people out there. You just have to find the right people you're willing to open up to - whether that's new friends or a potential relationship. It'll probably take longer than it does for most people, but the right people will understand and take things at your pace.

i appreciate your words. since i’ve been diagnosed, i’ve had to take a step back and understand myself before expecting anybody else to.

That's understandable. I'm still waiting for my diagnosis, but that's all part of trying to get to know myself better.
