Hi all new here

Mermaidsophiebarbie

Hi all, I’m Sophie, I have recently been diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder after years and years of feeling incredibly different and really quite lonely, I have struggled for years so I’m trying to navigate through things etc! Any advice or anything would be great! 
do you ever feel really different ? Like you see the world in a different way? I feel my mind plays pictures or objects as if in  a move scene ! 
thanks all

  • Hi all, thanks for getting back to me it’s really nice to know people are acknowledging how I feel and providing some really insightful info! 
    haha yes very long name ! I am obsessed with barbies and mermaids! 

    I feel I have finally got an answer to why I have always felt so different! What I really struggle with is my job…. I am an intensive care nurse and although I am perceived as quite outgoing etc it’s far from what I am like at home I am incredibly drained and feel numb after my shifts so I trying to think of how I am going to go back (I’m off at the mo) as I reached a point of burn out I think? My morals are incredibly strong sometimes to the point I cannot think of anything else (my morals are challenged a lot in the nhs). It’s hard!! 
    I am just wondering how I will cope sometimes 

    thanks very much guys for getting back to me!
