Hi there, I'm Kitty. I had my diagnosis a while ago but only just sinking in. I'm not really getting used to it and I find it hard sometimes. I don't really like being autistic. I have a lot of other problems that seem to match it and they make life with autism difficult. Most of the time I'm playing toys and enjoying a fun movie but a lot of the time I'm in agonising pain and it's all getting a bit much. Constant anxiety. And constant tension headaches. Uggh.
But, I try to be positive. That's one of the reasons I decided to join so I could meet more like me and hopefully find a place where I really belong and can be me. I'm always having to mask at home which is tiring and induces the anxiety.
Hi Kitty, I used to have homes like that, I know the pain, I live alone at last for 3 years now. Selfidentification as autistic happened year and a half ago, and I feel like a newborn now.
