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.

  • Hey Recombinantsocks,

    I also find it nice talking to someone else who suffers from ASD. It's not easy talking to my parents, I find it quite hard sometimes but talking with you and others who have ASD just seems so much easier, also it doesn't get my parents to stressed and worried about me. I'm not sure what your expression meant but I'm guessing it was a good one, I just didn't understand it!

    I too hope I manage the visit tomorrow. Even though my gran looks terribly ill and no longer rembers me I still like to see her. When I was first diagnosed with ASD I didn't go and visit my gran and grampy for a very long time, that is one of my regrets. Grampy sadly died but each time I go and see gran I like to think that I am making up for all of those times I missed seeing them.

    I will let you know how I get on tomorrow. I think we'll be leaving in the morning so I'll update after lunch. Thank you again for your comment, it is appreciated.

    Thanks again mate,

    Kind regards from,

    Matthew.
