Hi
I've been struggling with my mental health lately due to my autism. Its really hard to talk to someone about this. My parents aren't understanding of it and have treated me differently because of it. I've had several bad experiences with friendships too. I'm okay at making friends but when I tell them that I have autism, they treat me badly because of it. I feel miserable and I really struggle talking to someone about all this. Is there any sites/books/self help, just anything that can help improve my wellbeing?
Sorry to read about your bad experiences, I hope things improve for you soon.
Re sites, Ieso are good. They provide online counselling which is great because, I don't know about you, but I find writing what I am feeling much easier than trying to vocalise it, and not having to do that face to face is even better. This link should lead to to some info about what it is and where it is available, but if you're not in one of those areas there might be something similar near to where you are https://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/online-mental-health-services/Pages/ieso-digital-health.aspx
