Hi all new here

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! 

  • wow thats a really tough job and its great that you can do it. I'm rubbish when it comes to medical stuff and very squeamish. You must face some tough challenges and like you say a test of your principles. Hope you start to feel better!
