Hello!
How's it going?
I'm Catherine and I'm new here. I'm autistic, I was diagnosed when I was a toddler still. I'm finding life as an adult on the spectrum challenging now. It's frustrating when there's little to no support for us out there.
I've also got gastritis which is making things extra harder.
I'm lucky to have Nina though - my cat - she brightens me up and is my friend. I can talk to her, rest with her and everything is all right.
She was basking in the sun this afternoon.
I love animals, if I wasn't so ill and didn't have my mental struggles I would love to work with animals.
Hiya and welcome!
I haven't been on here for ages... hope you manage to find out how to reduce your gastritis. Lots of us have inflammation/autoimmune/allergies/histamine issues which mess up our digestive systems amongst other things... seems to go hand in hand with autism.
At least you have your cat... and sunshine! None of that here in Somerset at the moment ;)
Happy Easter.
