Hi.

My name is Matthew and a few years ago I was diagnosed with Autism. Since then my life has changed, in some ways for the better but also for the worst. I now, don't really go out, I worry about mine and my families health and I worry quite a lot, sometimes I don't even know what I am worrying about. It seems quite silly I know but I'm hoping others on the forums will understand what I am talking about.

The reason I am writing now is because basically I am not really happy with who I am. My mum and dad always say that they wouldn't change me for the world, but for some reason I just dislike the way that I am. When I write books I always write about a brave man, a man who goes out and a man who helps protect others - that's me writing about the man I want to be, not the man I am. I also dwell on the past, I often think back to times when I have shouted at my mum, not gone out in the car when I wanted to and lately I haven't gone to see my gran who is in a carehome.

If anyone can help me like myself more and can get me out and about in the car then I'd be very grateful. Smile

Regards,

Matthew.

  • Recombinantsocks,

    Thank you so much for your reply. It has actually made me feel a lot better. Sometimes I do get down about what I am and how I act. But you know what, you're right, we are what we are and we only live once. I'm bound to have my bad days, obviously, but I am also going to have many good days. Thank you for replying, I am very happy that I can talk to someone else other than my parents about my worry's. I dislike stressing them, so this forum is the next best thing. I enjoy it and I hope I'm not being a pest!

    I am extremely grateful for your reply. Thank you Recombinantsocks.

    Kind regards,

    Matthew.
