Just Diagnosed

Mittens

So I'm 27 yrs old and for pretty much all my life I knew I was different and that something wasn't right with me. I've never been close with my family. I hated being hugged by my mum and sisters. I'm sensitive to light, noise and touch. I can't wear gloves because of the material of them. I hate change and I like the same foods. I'm no good at socialising. So I've just been diagnosed with Autism and though that's given me an explanation as to why I'm like this I just feel numb now and lost. What happens next? I don't want to be like this forever. Is there a way to get over this? I've no kids no job and no boyfriend. I've had relationships in the past but I was either used or told that I had no feelings and was just cold. I can't help being this way I'd change if I could. The diagnosis has answered questions but now I feel lost and don't know what to do. You guys got any advice?

    lies

    it took me 40 year to come up to this: if they don't get it yet, they will most likely never get and they are probably after using me, so don't waste your time on that type

    though there is so very few sensitive people around, insensitivity spreads like a plague among NTs, I am affraid to say it

    but it's better to be alone then used in a toxic relationship

    and if only physical need is a pressing matter there is a possibility to pay for those services, the oldest proffession on earth
