Since my diagnosis a few months ago I have thought a lot about people I have struggled to maintain friendships with. This was mainly due to my particular requirements for going out or doing anything that made it easier not to engage. However, now I understand it a bit better myself I wonder if I should contact them and explain and apologise for not being available. Since my diagnosis I have actually told relatively few people. Probably because I’m scared about how it will be received and rejection.
