Helping me understand myself

Mattyhobs

I have recently been diagnosed with autism. Being 45 I've found it very hard coming to terms with it. But it has made me think about how I act and it does explain a lot about me. I don't communicate well at all and as I will talk to other people I don't socialise.

It's cause of my partner now that I've been diagnosed, but she gets angry with me because of the way I am. I forget things and I tend to shut off without knowing I'm doing it. and i won't have a conversation or I do and i say something totally wrong which winds her up, so I talk less.

I was wondering if anyone knows about any help that's out or people to talk with. As I dont know much about aurtism or what sort of help I need.

I'm not very good at writing things like this and people tend to find it confusing or don't get what I mean. This is rewrite number 102 lol

  • Your partner doesn’t understand Autism, so it’s not surprising that she gets a annoyed. With time, she will be able to learn more about you and why you do the things you do. It won’t happen overnight. Just remember, you aren’t winding her up. You are being you.

    You could ask for help and guidance from your gp to explain things to you, but mostly, they are I’ll equipped to help. You will start to feel better about things once you begin to understand yourself. Again, it’s a long process.
