Hii there I'm Tay. I'm 25 and Autistic. I struggle big time with ASD and anxiety, can't work at the moment sadly. Still rely on my parents massively which I hate but every time I try to get over everything I just get knocked back several steps. Feel like I'm stuck in a rut, not sure how to get through the difficulties would appreciate any help and advice you can give. Tried the GP but they weren't very helpful sadly.
Bit about me. I like to draw, do that most days, just sketch whatever comes into my mind. I also love music and records, love to just chill to it.
Hi, thank you for your reply. I really do appreciate it a lot! I don't know anyone else with Autism but I will write to some other doctor surgery and see if any have a good understanding of Autism, sadly mine doesn't. I have a social worker and team already, they come to see me and call me regular which is a pain as they constantly focus on my mental issues which I am positive I don't even have! Maybe I can request a new social team? That's something I will look at doing. Sadly I already mentioned mental health a few years ago which was a very bad move, they've been involved and trying to help me ever since which I feel has made me a lot worse. I'm not sure if my anxiety can tolerate CBT but this gives me something to consider and think about doing. Thank you for this, you have been so helpful. I'm really grateful.
