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.

you are NOT an idiot, or a child, you are a young teenager, who has autism, thats it

i dont have much advice for you about school or other teens, ive been out of that a long time, but i do remember that it can be very hard to feel accepted and if you have anything that makes you 'stand out' its even harder

you just have to push through, ask for help where you can get it (including here) and keep going, there are people who want to make it easier for you and who do understand
