Hello, I'm new here

Hi,

I'm 41 and was diagnosed when I was 39 and whilst this answered a lot of questions I had about myself it has also made things a lot harder.  I find I am distancing myself from people who do not understand me and never have (family mainly).  I have a partner and we have been together 20 years but now things are changing, my partner wants more friends (of which I am jealous because I do not have any at all) but I find it difficult with out them and I find myself on my own a lot.

Sorry for the rant but does anyone else struggle with anything similar?

Thanks
