I am autistic.

Pesh

I have struggled my 40 years thinking I was always doing wrong things in other people's view and never linked why I have always found social gathering difficult and stressful. I don't have any friends and I always wore a mask to hide my struggles. Even when everything is going fine, hiding how difficult/stressful it's been to have everything go fine.

I have been put on waiting list for diagnosis, 18 months waiting list. I have started feeling very hopeless and feel like everything I have been trying all those years will never work, so why put effort. It's very demotivating.

  • 1. dont worry about what other people think about you   ----- because believe it or not you are most likely incorrect 

    2. do u wear a physical mask or do u mean u mask as in you create  a mental front/persona ?

    Get some advice from your assessors when they talk to you next because they are the experts / professional who will give u the best advice. In fact have  list of questions for them and put them here as we can help a bit

    You havent really said what you have been trying so expand on those in a reply 

    but odds are, you arent doing anything wrong as such.
