Knowing that I'm different.

ethan01

I've had a diagnosis of autism since 7 years old. but never thought much of it. But as shortly completing my final year of school, i'm starting to think to myself, why am I different?

I go to school every day, with not one friend.

I think differently than others

I got high expectation in life, but strugle to see how to achieve them.

I dont think my family really understand on what I'm feeling and what I'm trying to say, if i do something wrong, my grandmother screams at me and shouts. Just makes me not to like her even more.

Life with autism is not easy, but as I get older, I'm starting to wonder, why? why me?

I'm finding hard to talk to my parents about stuff, because, strange things worry me, and when I try to talk to them about it, they just tell me to grow up, get a life. Things like that upset me. But, I love my family to bits, but sometimes, I dont think they understand on what autism actually is.

Is anyone else that has autism knows that they are different, but just dont know how?

  • Hi,

      It's a shame your family don't fully understand your concerns. They are entirely natural and very much related to Aspergers.

    It sounds as though your awareness of your difference is becoming more profound of late. Please try noy to view this negetively. If you would like to understand more, including strategies to help you with the anxiety you face, I can reccomend Living Well On The Spectrum.
