Very late diagnosis

ChallengingTimes

I was recently told during PTSD treatment that the therapist thinks I'm autistic. They suggested that I get an official diagnosis for it although couldn't really explain when I asked how that was going to benefit me. I've been divorced for a long time and have always had big problems trying to make friends and keep relationships going. Does anyone have any tips about making and maintaining friends/relationships?

    Thanks very much Sharon - I'll take a look at the links. I'm an academic, so it's intellectually interesting finding out explanation for why i've always had such problems interacting and having long term relationships with anyone. However,  knowing about that doesn't help in my quest to actually feel less isolated and to be connected to anyone.
