Not sure what can post here. Read something upsetting about something happens to us autistics. Want discuss but not sure if can put up. I'm late diagnosed, recent upset has spiralled me. Yet get any support. Family horrible. GP horrible. Scared.

  • I wasn't diagnosed until I was 50 and I'm 64 now.

    If your GP is horrible then its fairly easy to change to a different practice, find a new practice that will take you on, some are so busy they've pretty much closed their lists and ask to register, they do pretty much all the rest, you don't have to ask anyones permission. Is there another Gp in your existing practice you could see?

    One of the problems with these sort of trails is that the participants are self selecting, as Alexa said and even though it was over a thousand people, they're not the whole of the autistic population. Obviously we have the same griefs and horrible happenings as everyone else and we all react differently, ND and NT's, suicide is not inevitable for us or anyone else.

    I hope you find some comfort from being here and in life in general.

    I've changed GP several times, treated like attention seeker. Supposedly waiting for ND help but now have change GP again that will be lost. I'm not exaggerating own family think easier I'm gone. So many signs growing up struggling. I wasn't helped just hit to be quiet. Nothing like today. Same people in life now silencing me now. Can't escape cos no money, scared be homeless. Diagnosis made everything worse. Mum treating me like something bad in me. Can't leave, no home. No one believes because I masked when young to reduce abuse. Less noticed less abuse. Only way stop and rest is be over. Told Mum I'll do today and still leaving me.
