hi, 

I'm 14, got diagnosed at 10, i was really good in school but now at GCSE im failing, all my neurotypical friends are succeeding and have girlfriends but i feel like i cant talk to a girl anymore let alone have a girlfriend, i got accused of sexual assault even though i did nothing, i got cleared but everyone looks at me differently after that. I'm ugly, fat and just feel like i want to die. i just want any advice i can get tbh. i hope everyone seeing this has a great day.

  • Hi kavish,

    Thank you for sharing your experience with the Online Community. We are sorry to hear that you are going through a difficult time. We would encourage you to speak to a trusted adult about how you are feeling. This could be a family member, school staff or your GP. 

     

    The National Autistic Society does not currently operate a crisis or emergency service. We advise you to contact 999 or any of the mental health crisis lines listed on our Urgent Help Page if you are at risk of immediate harm: https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/help-and-support/urgent-help   

     

    If you are not at immediate risk of harm, we would encourage you to speak to your GP or another health professional about this if you haven’t done so already. If it’s outside your GP hours call 111 to reach the NHS 111 service. In in England, Wales and Scotland there is now an option to speak with mental health professionals by selecting ‘option 2’ when calling NHS 111: https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/urgent-and-emergency-care-services/when-to-use-111/   

     

    Rule 1 of our Online Community states users must be over 18. If you would like to access other support or networking groups, people aged under 18 may choose to use other services such as the following:  

    • The Ambitious Youth Network: A space for autistic young people aged 13-25. You can attend online peer support sessions, join groups, and stay updated on autism-related news and events.  
    • Childline: A free, confidential helpline for under 19s, offering message boards and tools to help with challenging situations.  

     

    You can also search for more services in our Autism Services Directory. 

     

    I hope this is helpful.  

     

    Kind Regards, 

    Rosie Mod  

  • Feeling alone and being looked down on is never something that's fun to deal with, even for people who've been through it plenty of times already. You don't deserve the bad looks and alienation it seems like you're feeling. You're not alone there, and you're not alone in your struggles either. The thing is, people around you are rarely doing as well as they seem... everyone's just trying to make it work, just like you. With time you'll probably learn about plenty of issues your friends are dealing with that you didn't fully know about. This isn't meant to say that you shouldn't feel this way, but that there's probably more people than it seems who feel similar to you right now.

    Just keep going, okay Kavish? Find something you can anchor to to get you through, anything, and know that things can and will eventually change. You are good just as you are, and there will be plenty of girls who will like you just as you are too in the future.

    I hope you have a good day, and remember to take care of yourself when you can :-)

  • People these days love to stick the knie in; when you're vulnerable. When I was your age, I was coaxed [content removed by Moderator due to breaches of rule 7 the online community rules and guidelines] playground; for crisps. I had zero self-esteem, and felt s**t about myself.

    The best advice I can give is find an interest. Whenever you get older you'll find out that a woman who's genuinely interested in you will enter the scene. Now, just focus on getting out of School, in one piece, then rebuilding yourself.
