since i was diagnosed a few months ago with autism i've felt kinda depressed because its made me realise why people avoid me and id really like to be able to do things without seeming like an idiot or a child as im nearly 15 yrs old so i would like some advice on how to concentrate and not seem like a idiot or child, i really can't take much more im starting to get really upset.

  • I'm kinda going through a similar thing at the moment since my diagnosis of Asperger's, also about 2 months ago. It's almost becoming a kind of hatred towards Neurotypical people. As they are the ones that push me away. Ignore me. All that kinda stuff. It's mostly because of my manager though. It's not everyone. And we all have to realize this. Not only are we different to "them". But many of "them" are different to each other, aswell.

    Just as they group together and outcast us. We can do the same (wow.. I really do sound bitter at the moment. I'm going to be seeing my doctor soon. Depression getting really bad again due to stress at work.)

    We are awesome. We all are. We just need to find each other and see just how awesome we can be together without being made to feel inferior due to our lesser social skills.

    You will learn to accept yourself for who you are. Just try not to get bitter at "them" like I am. It will only make it harder.

    You will be ok :)
