Why?

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.

  • Hi Recombinantsocks,

    I am really grateful for your quick responses. I guess your right, I was sick in the car once outside my grandparents house. It only happened once and ever since then I have never really trusted going out in the car, it's really silly to be honest because there's so much out there to see, so much to do and I don't do anything. This morning you have really helped me out and tomorrow I'll be going to see my gran at the carehome with my dad, I'll focus only on the positives and not the negatives. I owe all of this to you Recombinantsocks, I am very grateful for all of your help. Thank you so much.

    You only found out that you have ASD recently, I found out about four years ago when I started secondary school. Sadly it was a little bumpy at first and I did have a few issues, especially with health (I always thought I had every disease) but not anymore. I'll try and focus on the positive side of Autism.

    Once again, thank you Recombinantsocks. Thanks for all the comments you've made back to me. I am eternally grateful.

    Thank you so much for everything Recombinantsocks,

    Kind regards,

    Matthew. Smile
