Helping me understand myself

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

  • I'm sorry your partner doesn't understand at the moment but give it time, she will learn more and adjust. I remember my dad used to get annoyed with me all the time but eventually he came to terms and accepted. Your partner will as well but it will take a little time. Take it easy and be kind to yourself. You've got this far already.

    I think you explained yourself really well.
