Alright, my names Scott I’m from Wolverhampton originally from east Birmingham, I was diagnosed with slight Aspergers and marked communication difficulties I’m a quiet person and I rarely socialise with other people, I have a girlfriend who I’ve been with for 4 years with live together with a cat and rabbit.
so at school I was very quiet I rarely spoke more than 5 words until I was out with my friends where I lived in kitts green I remember being very tired anxious and nervous, my expressions rarely change I do eye gaze I’ve been told, I lose focus and have trouble listening and taking in instructions and it stayed like that all through school and college, I struggled a lot at school I couldn’t concentrate, I had no support at until I started having panic attacks and my anxiety was uncontrollable.
I was put on anti depressants (venlafaxine) and then the ball started rolling (if you know what I mean) I’m currently working for a battery company at JLR Solihull which I’m doing okay there
I am currently going through CBT and it’s been struggling at times trying to explain how I’m feeling and my emotions but there we go I can’t think of anything more to add so if someone asks a question I’ll answer.
thanks
Scott
I wish I never took them, I was only given them because I suffered with anxiety and panic attacks now i get depressed sometimes and feel I take them from stopping my brain zaps which is a side effect if come off them.
Hi desmond, you’re right no instructions to life, I never knew what I wanted to do when I left school I feel if I had one on one with a support teacher I think I would have got out of school with something.
Well I spend most days working coming home eating and sleeping haha I do collect little diecast buses West Midlands ones I have around 50 maybe more I haven’t counted them all yet, when I was about 3 or 4 my Nan took me into Birmingham on the bus and ever since then especially when I started earning my own money I’ve started collecting buses it’s a expensive hobby, I’ve even got a destination blind from one of my local buses ding ding
I have PS4 as well which I’m on most days when I get back from work I play battlefield 1 or battlefield 4, I’m trying to save up for a ps5 I hope Santa brings me one haha
Hello
We dont like pills. But you need to regulate yourself.
Stimming. Isolation. Routine
Me too. Case close
Unless i feel like i can turn something from there into joke
I like that saying
Welcome home, Mate!
I did well at school, but found Adulthood a thankless task. There's no instruction manual for life. And we were all taken advantage of.
I was diagnosed as a kid; which wasn't today, or yesterday. Now, I'm the archetypal Bum with a Degree. It is what it is, though. As my Mum used to say, "No use crying over spilled milk!"
Hi Scott welcome to NAS
I'm sorry your struggling at the moment, and that you found school hard. I'm still at school, not for much longer thank God lol, so I totally relate.
