Hello there. I’ve had very limited social interaction since I dropped out of college in 2011. I came to this site in the hopes of talking to people who might be able to empathise with my social/cognitive struggles. I don’t feel like I really have any true opinions and interests, with a few exceptions, so I don’t even feel like a real person most of the time. I wouldn’t mind talking with anyone really but I have a really bad fear of being judged.
Hello welcome to the forum it’s a great community.
Hi! Yeah, people have already been so welcoming.
Have you been diagnosed with autism?
Yeah it’s bad enough when you have one of these problems but what do you do when you have several that all exacerbate each other? I know this feeling all too well. Trying to come up with goals for CBT is a can of worms itself, then it makes me feel like I’ve got a gun to my head. I was trying to work my way up to gong to an autism group but corona and moving house got in the way of that. I’m currently waiting to join the local services in my new area.
Yes, They are not equipped to treat someone with autism, ADHD and sensory processing disorder. I have tried everything from CBT therapy to talking therapy.
