Hello new to this forum.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I suffer with an autism spectrum disorder and social anxiety disorder. I was only diagnosed last November so a year ago. I'm in my late 20's. I find having this condition is very isolating and difficult. I don't feel i can function completely as i find it challenging meeting people and get initimdated and very nervous when in public places and travelling/walking etc near people. I've also just moved to a new area after living in London all my life. This is a completely different scene. I'm with my boyfriend now but feel i'm a burden on him sometimes and would like to have more friends in my life. Does anyone else feel like it's difficult to function, do normal everyday things most people do and have friends? I am on ESA and PIP and feel very inadequate about how my life is. I did gradaute from University three years ago but have only ever had one proper job that lasted 3 months and the other two jobs were newspaper and magazine delivery. Thanks.
