Good Evening all, 

I had a mental health assessment today, when i was explaining everything thats been happening to me and what i do she mentioned autism. 

I have been doing a little research and i have all the traits of this and have struggled for years!!

Can i just ask is the diagnosis of this (if it is?) A sort of way of coping with this or sort of acknowledging it and what help is out there? I feel so isolated and different to everyone all the time because of the way i am.

Thanks

    Welcome to the community - all [or most of us] are like this! I'm sure the moderators will offer advice when they see your post [they don't cover 24/7, being volunteers, but they do read all the posts]. Meanwhile, I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses, but give it time. The main thing to keep in mind, is that you are NOT alone.
