Hello! I'm new here...

Eryberrie

Hello! I'm a 30 year old woman and am awaiting a diagnosis of ASD. I'm new here and would like to meet and talk to people about experiences, esp how I deal with social situations and try and deal with the frustration of living in a world where I feel like an alien.

It seems as if everyone else in the world have a 'telepathic network' going on and I'm not part of it.  It's like there is a code and it's such hard work trying to get by in any social situation.  Family, work, school, college, extra curricular clubs, groups, etc.

I don't want to start waffling and ranting about myself because I do enough of that in life!  Please say hello if you like,

E

  • I'm so pleased he is in a school where he is being looked after. It's completely disgusting that a school that knows about his condition still puts his problems down to bad behaviour! It's simply that people with ASD see the world in a different way, they feel like a jigsaw piece that does not fit and become frustrated with the way everyone else functions! What they perceive as bad benhaviour is a coping mechanism and intense emotion at feeling lost.

    Once I get a diagnosis, I'll probably write an article in my work's internal newspaper.

    Yes, mimicking. I used to do that a lot and even now I observe and use what I see and hear to get by.

    So glad I met you, please give your son a hug from me and I wish you both all the best
