Coming to terms that I have ASD***

Sam

I am a 25 year old female and have come to the realisation that I have aspergers. I always knew I was different but recently had a major fall out with all of my freinds and have realised socially I don’t understand them at all. There social norms for how to behave in some situations does not make sense to me at all. A few picked up on my difference and have stated they can’t deal with me anymore. I’ve been in bed for the past few days I can’t eat sleep or cope anymore. I’ve always liked being on my own but this now is different. I do have some anxiety and have very low moods. I have booked a appointment with my GP to start the process to get officially diagnosed. Please someone tell me that this gets any better :( I’m so hurt by now everything I’ve built my whole life is gone and I have no one anymore. 

Any advice anyone? Any forums, pages I can visit

i don’t think I’ve ever spoken to anyone else who is autistic or has aspergers and would love to get there point of view..

    Just read around. There's lots in here. 

    If you haven't been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome you should probably use some more up to date language. Asperger was a nazi and Jewish autistic people find using that word a bit of a slur. Obviously people who were diagnosed with it and identify as AS can use their own terms but you won't get told you have that word in your diagnosis unless you're diagnosed by someone straight from the 50s or a quack.
