Hello my name is Abigail. I'm newish to the world of Autism and need help coping with the effects it has in life. Especially with the stress and worry it causing me. To me Autism feels like a big bag and I'm inside of it and every day there's a gust of wind that blows me to different places and when im in certain places I feel the bag closes in on me and I struggle to breathe and control myself. It's hard work at school because I'm stupid and struggling with the work and no one wants to be my friend but it's even worse at home. Sometimes I cry and other times I scream. I need help to deal with all this please.
Thank you,
Abi.
Hi Abigail,
It's always hard making friends but from what I have experienced on here people are nice and always have good advice if you have a situation.
It seems that you are having meltdowns often, try to keep a diary so that you have a clear picture of your day and you might find out what your triggers are.
Plus don't keep your worries to yourself and bottle things up because there is always someone on hear to listen I've found, and it helps to vent.
Hello K. Well you are really nice so I think you might be right. Maybe I can make some friends here. I used to write a diary but it made me sad when I was writing it and I cried so stopped. I think its bad when I'm at home, home life is hard right now. That effect me at school because I get upset at school. I did last week and my teacher gave me a hug. I'm glad I can tell you because I have no one else to tell to.
