I can't focus

NAS71232

I've been told I'm autistic and have ADHD.

The other day, my mother told me the greengrocers asked her if I was autistic. I try to act normal, but I've had major head injuries and I can't focus on anything. It's getting worse as I age.

I don't understand autism and I really should try to study it. There are autistic people that can't function day to day and then there are autists that are CEOs of companies.

I don't know what my future is. I can see why people like me idealise suicide. 

I can do this if I had my own place. My mind goes around in circles. I wish I could just eventually live on my own and keep myself to myself. I'm not sure how to do that yet. I can't live in shared accommodation. I'm looking after my mother atm. She has carers and is well looked after. I look after her inbetween the two daily carer visits. I will always be there for her 100%. 

I have to prove read my posts on forums many times before submitting. 

I have ailments and I'm not well. I'm not sure if I should post this. I thought I'd share.

    Almost no-one does. I never thought I'd do the things I have. Things change and you can't predict it all. It's a journey .

    All you can do is hope to recognise an opportunity when you see it, then have the courage to act on it and see where it goes.

    There are many paths through life, some are nicer than others, but looking for the perfect one may mean you don't start.

    Make the path you are on as good as it can be while you wait for the next junction to come. 

    Also note that you don't know what other people's paths are really like. They may look good from a distance, but for many it is all an act. Most people would swap paths if they could.

    So just concentrate on yours and take time to notice and appreciate even little things. A bird singing, the sun beans between clouds, the moon shining down, the frost on a cobweb, a nice cup of tea.

      This is a really nice thing you have said and truly all I would have want to say.

    Every single person has no idea what their future is, but we need to stay POSITIVE
