It sounds like your putting a very high value on the opinions of others and that is dictating your opinion of yourself. If you have closed yourself off from the world and relied on a very small network for support, when that support fails to resolve an issue or worse changes and becomes a new problem then you would be very vulnerable and isolated. It sounds like your making the right steps by reaching out on a forum like this but really you need to reach out in the real world, finding a support network that isn't exhausted from your issues or even one that has gone through similar issues can instantly stop you from feeling alone and you can support each other so that you dont feel like your just taking all the time. I would be looking for groups that could be focused on autism or simply groups focused on hobbies / something you enjoy. Theres a huge spectrum of people in this world from negative to positive depending one whos interacting with them. Time to give your family a break? :)
