hi, I'm new to the community

dooglewoo

I'm a 47 year old female who had recently been diagnosed with autism. I'm still trying to understand and accept it.  I stuggle mixing with others and this has always been the same.  I just find having autism is a very lonely place to be and it doesn't help being fairly shy.  I don't know who I could talk to, so I can find a way to step outside of this isolated box I live in.  Sorry for sounding sorry for myself.  Any advice would be appriciated.

  • Thank you Ferret

    I had always known there was something different about me, but when the assessor said the words 'Your autistic' for some reason hit me like a brick.

    It may sound silly but I really don't know who I am, what makes me happy.  I think it's because I've just always tried to fit in.

    Just having a couple of replies has made me feel a little less alone so I really do appreciate your feedback and in time I WILL accept it.

    Thanks again
