39 living in rural France with parents

Hi 

I was diagnosed 4 years ago with high functioning autism and moved with my parents to rural France.

I tried living independently many times but it overwhelmed me and I turned to alcohol to cover up my anxiety and meltdowns.

Living here has been great for giving up the drink but I am isolated. I live with my parents and have many animals but no friends and I don't drive so I'm here all the time unless my mum and I go to the shops.

I feel depressed and alone with nowhere to vent and I Want to scream! 

I've been getting to know myself the past 4 years knowing I am autistic but I don't know if being here isolated has made my autism worse. 

Anyway it would be so nice to have people to talk to and get to know who's in a similar position.
