I'm a 40 year old female who has struggled through life and always felt 'different'. I have a suspicion that I may have some sort of Autism, and have joined this community to find out more. I have suffered with life long anxiety and depression, as did my brother, who recently took his own life due to major depressive disorder. He too always struggled with life, and felt deeply misunderstood, and we had spoken about the possibility of him having Aspergers. I would really like to reach some understanding now for both of us.
Is there anyone out there who has been in a similar boat and whom could offer some advice?
Hello there. I'm so sorry to hear about your brother. You may find the work of Tanya Marshall helpful. Perhaps you could google her, she writes about what she calls Aspien women.
