Anxiety and Depression

All my life due to having AS i have been picked on and bullied. I kind of get depressed because i'm usually lonely since it's hard for AS people to make friends. I also get scared of paranoid of people when I go out because I think they will make fun of me, so I try and avoid going out unless I really have too :( Does anyone else have these problems?

    I am sorry to read that you are finding things difficult, particularly at the moment.

    You may find it useful to have someone to talk to when you are finding things difficult.  Perhaps you have a support worker who can help?  You might also find the support offered by Saneline useful at difficult moments.  They offer support by telephone and email.  You can have a look at their website here:

    I'm sure some other members will also be able to give some suggestions for coping strategies.
