Hello fellow travellers, just need to know not alone

Hello all,  we have a wonderful teenage 17, after two extremely difficult years,she has got her and diagnosis. 

IWe had to take B out of school 2 yrs ago.  I tried the education inline but didn't work.

Our lives were turned upside down.  My husband is a good man but doesn't really talk about the difficult stuff.

B gets intrusive thoughts, sleep disruption and honestly doesn't really leave the house much 

Just need some people in similar situations to share with. 

Thanks all

    I’m new here but thought of sharing that I am 44 and do mot leave the house much too.

    I was diagnosed 3 years ago and now things are making sense but on my side, it was always hard to understand why people enjoy going put so much and I never did.

    I was able to feel a bit better when I was able to allow me to live under my own rules and not to fall on what I call “the should trap”.

    It is a habit we all have of staying just inside the box and end up assuming that in such a diverse world we should be all getting levels of happiness or success measured by only one set of combined aspects.

    After allowing myself to be a person that is fine and happier staying indoors I felt better but it brings issues, for sure, who has a life with no issues?

    being in the spectrum just mean my issues are different.

    hope it can be of help!
