Hello I'm new

track.eleven

Hello I'm 54, female, and was diagnosed a week and a half ago. 

Going through a rough time generally - not to do with the diagnosis - and could do with some friends.

Life has been hard to navigate. I masked as best I could all my life. But friendships and family and work have been difficult. I have burnt out many times. I have pretty severe depression. I'm very isolated and lonely.

I have just lost my job and really don't have the energy to get back into jobsearching yet again.

  • Hello and wellcome to the community. I have been out of work for some time now but volunteer instead. Only 3 in 10 autistic adults are in employment. I am sorry to read you are feeling isolated and lonely but am sure you will make many friends here as we are all understanding and helpful to each other. Take care.
