Hello all, this is my first ever time in a chat room. Not very computer savvy. But I want to say hi as a newbie. last year I was diagnosed with ASC at the age of 39. It came as no surprise to me but it still hit me like a train the grief of the past young girl who struggled/ still struggles in life and trying navigate the world. I was also assessed with Dyslexia at the age of 21 after years and years of struggle. So that’s created a lot of hangout but last year I completed a Master degree which was an believable achievement for me. But even though I am classed as “high functioning” I still struggle greatly with every day life. I get so overwhelmed by people, places and become angry, frustration which leads to burnout. But what’s worst we are meant to me more aware in society about ASC, bit I found that when I told people about my diagnosis that it was largely negative reactions. people will change how they speak to me in a much louder and slower voice which is so irritating, I know they want to help but I don’t need you to be louder!! Things are too loud as it is. (Haha). But anyway I am here to speak to like minded people and see how you guys all feel about ASC life and how you manage social anxiety and social acceptances and the world (ha,ha).
Welcome
Thank you
