I’m new here and wanted to introduce myself. I have written this post over and over again over the past few days because I just don’t know what words to use, so please forgive me if anything doesn’t make sense.
I am a 45 years old and for as long as I can remember I have felt that I don’t fit in anywhere and I am different yo other people. I started copying other people, even copying the things they say. From a young age I started to build an imaginary world where there were lots of trees and animals and I felt comfortable being in this world. Even now as an adult I still put myself in that world.
My daughter is waiting for an assessment which got me researching autism and ways I can help her. While researching, my entire life seemed to fall into place. Catching my arms on door frames as I walk through the door wasn’t me being clumsy, sounds and noise that were just unbearable, having to wear track suit bottoms under jeans or work trousers because I can can’t stand the feeling of the materials on my skin and so many other things. It was all there.
Anyway I don’t want to keep going on, I only cane here to say hello
