Hello

I am a 55 year old guy who can easily relate to many other life stories on this forum , wondering why I was different etc . In short I crashed at Christmas time and stayed in my bubble until last Friday when I clicked on an Australian guy on You Tube who ran through the ASD common symptoms  . Since then my world has collapsed and been rebuilt several times , quite frankly I haven’t a clue how I feel I am I think relieved in some ways a scrambled all at the same time . I have no one to speak to really that can help 

My current plan is to carry on bashing away at it (life that is) the same wayI have done since before I can remember but with the added knowledge that I have learned over the past week or so ie trying to take notice of what aggravates me then avoid it 

I think I’m going to need a bigger pad ha ha

Im not looking for sympathy and any help would be very much appreciated 

With peace

    Hi 

    Thank you

    I really do need to validate this which seems to be the way to go . I struggling to understand why I hadn’t noticed this before when I was younger as it seems as obvious now , I keep getting memory flashes of situations which make me wince (I’ve had this many times before) I haven’t a clue but I’m starting to think that these are times where I got things wrong so I am trying to go back and fix them . I know I don’t like this but I haven’t a clue why 

    I am also extremely concerned that I could be a fraud 

    Again thank you very much for your help

    Once you realise that you might not be the same as everyone else, you start to endlessly reprocess all of your past interactions where there were unsatisfactory outcomes - that becomes frustrating and annoying as you realise just how many times you've been screwed over and you didn't notice at the time.
