Undergoing diagnosis for ASD

NAS51002

Hi Everyone,

I'm Jade and i'm currently undergoing an autistic spectrum diagnosis, i currently have ADHD and dyspraxia too. I find it very difficult to make friends, i really struggle to maintain friendships and get really depressed and angry when i see other people happy doing things that i should be able to do. 

I have many interests, I feel like people get bored of me but i'm not sure if they do or why they do.

Does anyone else experience this or am i alone? 

Thank you,

Jade

  • Hi Jade,

    I feel just like you. I'm still waiting for ASD diagnosis, but at this point, I'm already sure I'm somewhere in the spectrum.

    I have always found difficult making and keeping friends. Actually, who keeps the friendship are my friends because I'm unable to contact them, just don't know what to say.

    At this point of my life, I realised that I'm not evil or mad or boring...I'm a good, kind person, funny sometimes, with lots of interests as you, I just don't have natural social abilities. I try to remember this as a mantra every time I feel sad, I hope it helps you as well.
