I feel like I'm almost alone online. I seem to be surrounded by people with Asperger's who despite this, are able to manage college and university, often are able to work and socialise freely...
In my case, I'm confined to the house most days -- often too scared or just to exhausted to go out. When I do go out it's almost always a frightening and I'm usually on the verge of a panic attack the whole time. (Unless of course I drink until I'm drunk before leaving home).
I read so many stories about what a positive thing autism can be and how we are such a resource to society, but all I see is disability and dependency :(.
You?
hi,
animals help me alot also.i can get very lonely and low and wish i could work and find identity in that ..but i just dont cope with it and break down.animals enable us to be loved and give love and have a bond that is hard with humans.
holding and stroking an animal calms me down alot.its just sad that many mental heath housing i have lived in ban animals....
crazy really...as if people arent isolated enough then rules are made to reinforce that isolation.
im hoping to get a pet or two very soon.i think it will help alot.but ive been warned that if i need to move into sheltered housing again i"ll have to give them up..crazy...
