Another oldie

I have got to 58 having lived quite a traumatic life.  I have finally decided to get a formal assessment to see if the fact that I cannot successfully inrteract socailly is a neurodivergent issue or, alternatively, I am just a horrible person.  

Having opened the box is far more terrifying than I ever imagined.  As with Pandora, shutting the box does not seem to be an option.

  • I wouldn't have thought you were a horrible person. If you were would you even be considering a diagnosis and learning to understand yourself? 

    Social interaction is exhausting at times. 

    Make sure you try to get support- opening the autism box can mean that there is work to do and things to learn. I'm sorry it feels terrifying to you!
