Hi
I'm demi
I was diagnosed with autism this year
I've always new I was different (but never once
Thought I would have the Tag... I call it a tag
Because I don't see my self as different but
Other ppl do ect if your a woman with kids don't get diagnosed I lost my kids because I have autism
Social services didn't help me just took my life away and left me fighting and trying to understand what was going on
I suffered that bad I went from a size 18 down to a size 10-8
I couldn't eat go out I was punishing my self for being the way I am now I'm scared of people and panic about being out side I have 0 support and suffer form mental health Beacuse of trauma and a rare heart condition called pots...
Sometimes it's best not to no... Who or what you really are

what happens after May 19th ?
answered my own question this is kinda big ----
The helpline will stop taking calls from 19 May 2021 and will close completely on 9 June 2021. We will reply to all emails requesting advice received up to that date, but we will no longer reply to any new emails after that date.
