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.

    I've found it nice to think that someone else appreciates my thoughts so you've actually made me feel good too! I think that you have shown how you care about other people because you didn't want to worry your dad any more. You can see your affect on other people and can put yourself in their shoes at least a bit(I hope that expression makes sense - it's the type of expression that might confuse an ASD person!).

    I hope you manage the visit tomorrow without too much stress. I'm sure you can do it if you take your time and remember to think of good things. You will have a chance to talk to your dad in the car too. It's good to talk and exchange your thoughts with other people!

    Let me know how you got on after tomorrow.

    Best Wishes
