New to Autism, even though I have it!

micki82

Hi everyone, my name is Michael, and I am 29 years old.  I have recently began the diagnosis proceedings for ASD, and would like to learn from people on this forum, to help me cope with some very difficult aspects of my life, which have got me at rock bottom, and caused my first relationship to end :(

I also hope to contribute back whatever I can, and am very pleased to be here, and moving towards a happy future :)

  • Your post has certainly cheered me up today, as I have been thinking very similar to what you have said (the humour being from your last paragragh:).

    I have had a lot of thinking time, and am giving in to receiving all help available.  I am 30 in two weeks (aaaahg!), and am indeed without family in the UK, or many friends, so I accept that I do need help!  I also live in the sticks, which slows everything down anyway, although is the isolation I also need.

    Work has always beena disaster for me, as I also cannot work with others for long, although am great when left alone to research and experiment with things.  I'm now going to start a princess trust business course, and am going to look in to starting my own plant/mushroom related business.  I'm a semi encyclopedia of these things, and have the science knowledge to do the far more complicated stuff than many out there (assummingly many of which "Neuronormal"!), and with the right support I'm sure I can do it :)

    I hope that your diagnosis goes well, and that you continue to relax within your condition.

    Thanks again, and take care
