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..

  • Firstly let me say this totally resonates with me - in fact most of it could be from my official autobiography if I had one! So you are not alone in that sense!

    I can’t make promises over which I have no control - so I can’t promise that things get better, what I can say is that there is scope for things to get better - I’ve come a long way on some levels, less so on others but the potential is there so long as you are willing to invest in yourself and develop insight etc.

    sounds like you’ve made a positive start with the GP. If you ever need someone to chat to just fire me a private message and I’ll do my best Slight smile
