hey, im Jess,
Recently got a diagnosis of high funtioning autism, and been stuggling to cope. I havent had the easiest time at school. I have been through depression and eating disorders as I get very uptight about being perfect and I always feel so paranoid about if people hate me or not. Is it normal to be constantly worrying about people not liking you? I never really feel like I fit in anywhere, unless on my own in my room. Does anyone else just feel more rexlaxed and happy when on their own in a safe place?
I am really struggling to come to terms with having autism, as I go to a private school and all they really caree about are grades and achievemnts. Boys tease anyone with any type of disability from autism to down sydrome which makes me really angry and worried. At lunch time I usually just sit and read in the library. Generally, school really freaks me out and it takes up so much energy pretending to fit in and smile and not have a meltdown. Is school meant to be this stressfull?
I hope everyone is having an ok day x
