I'm a young adult, I received my diagnosis of HFASD a few years ago during a very turbulent period caused by my ex employer (a black company) shortly before leaving employment.
Most of my social circle has dissolved with people starting families or growing distant. I've always struggled to form friendships and more so intimate relationships.
The Longer you live, the more you realize that only pain, suffering and futility exist in this reality. My future seems bleak.
