Hi I'm Joe I'm a 21 year old guy who discovered the other day that I'm autistic I genuinely had no idea. Ive always struggled fitting in always watched from a far never quite felt like I belong. I struggle socially and every friendship and meaningful relationship Ive had seems to collapse. its given me social and anxiety and depression. I'm shocked despite me having dyslexia and dyspraxia nobody has picked up on it. i came on here maybe to find people who have experienced similar. maybe you feel scared angry happy relived? kind of how I feel rn. idk what will happen rn barely anyone knows im scared to share with the world. scared of the label the judgement. scared of losing the people around me due to being different.
For me its lead to a huge identity crisis and i no longer know whats acceptable from me as an individual
How cause I'm finding it confusing rn
