Hi from Newcastle upon Tyne

Hi,

I've only recently been diagnosed with ASD but I've suspected I've been on the spectrum for a while. My life has been turbulent for a long time and I've been isolated for so long but I want to try and reach out and hopefully meet people who are in the same struggle and share my passions and beliefs.

I'm vegan, I love animals and music but I find it hard to make friends who share the same interests and passion for understanding life.

I miss social interaction but over the years I've found it more and more difficult to function in society.

Is there anybody out there who cares any more?

I suppose I'm looking for hope that I'm not alone in this crazy system that we're expected to live in.

    Hi there!

    I've just been recently diagnosed as well and I'm a vegetarian! Do not lose hope, there will always be people around that share similar experiences, it's just sometimes difficult to find them through the 'conventional routes'. Slight smile

    Hi,

    Respect for being vegetarian :-) And thanks for replying. Hope died a long time ago, what would you recommend as unconventional routes?

    I've kind of lost the desire of friendships because I can't really connect with anyone - the psychiatrist who I spoke with said I should try and reach out so I'm just testing the waters to see if there's actually other people out there to relate to.
