Hello people :D Got diagnosed with ASD last month. The whole process took months but now its over I feel like I can be myself for once and no longer pretend I am someone else. A certain person in my life is happy that I got a diagnosis finally.
I pretend to be my dad in social situations. He had a buisness talk mode and a pub talk mode. I can easily act the way he did and have a successful conversation with lots of people and make them laugh etc. Thats how I got by at college for a year. only just though, because I had to start taking anti depressants in order to cope and then ended up drinking and then ending up in a mental hospital.
So I started at Uni last september but just could not cope and understand the tasks we were given so I decided to come back and sort my head out. I aim to go back next year and I should find it easier because the Uni should hopefully be understanding of my Autism and also I can just be myself and not have people thinking I am weird.
I can stop acting and just relax being myself for once.
