Hello every one.
I'm an autistic woman. I'm in my late twenties and struggling crazily coping with every day life. I thought my teens were bad but adult life is worse, way harder and more stressful. My parents are both nearly sixty now and their health isn't so good and I'm still heavily dependent on them but when I try to be more independent I get so stressed and breakdown.
I've been sectioned three times in the last couple of years. My parents are suggesting I get supported living so I can be kind of independent but still have help if I need it.
I hate that idea. I hate that I'm so reliant on people and can't cope properly with every day life.
My life is good though apart from all thy stress. I enjoy my life, like listening to music, and classic cars to my mums horror lol. I like to read, I have a big collection of books. I just wish I could process everything going on.
My biggest problem is my autistic mind can't process everything. I'm sure that's the problem. My mind just tries to process everything all at once, my thoughts are like speeding cars on a motorway, fast and noisy.

Well, I was only 8 by 1970, and my memories are just of poverty and life being tough.

That's awesome what are your fav classics?
Lucky you! I would love to have been born in the 60s. I love the style of nearly everything from that era can I ask what did you like most about the 60s?
Hi and welcome, I’m a classic car fan as well.
Classic Jags are the best in my book.
Quicksilver said:I'm the same with buildings, I love the style of older things I find it all really interesting.
Me too although as I was born in the 1960s some of the vintage things you like I probably grew up with
I love the Inspector Morse Jag! I like most of the cars from the series, new at the time but classed as old or classic now. Fascinating! I'm the same with buildings, I love the style of older things I find it all really interesting.
Thanks for the welcome
I love classic cars too especially the Inspector Morse Jag
Thank you and welcome
I deleted my reply to that thread. Sorry if I caused any upset.
It was the first page when I logged in so I thought I would wish well. I didn't notice the date, sorry.
I'm curious.
You have also responded to Trisha's thread she made 11 months ago (Moving On) which is out of date for your good wishes.
How did you find that?
Trisha has sadly now passed away.
