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?

  • Thanks Coogybear.

    I talk to my mum fine, but not others, I cant help avoiding saying one word answers to people such as Yes/No. I also finding it hard to keep a converstation going. 

    I kind of got a fear of my grandparents, i dont know why. They struggle to understand why i dont make converstation with them. 

    As I be leaving school very soon (June) it comes to the conclusion that school is the only life i have? I dont have any friends to go out with, and finding it hard to make friends.

    But never understand why?

    Will take a look at that book of amazon Coogybear.

    Thanks.
