Hello, I am Hope and I am 24 years old, on my way to 25 this December. I have just been diagnosed with Autism no more than a month ago now. Life can be a battle every day with feeling frustration, anger, feeling low and many more emotions. I also have throughout my life felt very lonely, I have never kept the same friend ever since way back as play school. I have been abandoned every time without fail. Sometimes I have had to put an end to a friendship for the sake of my mental health, but for the most part they have left me. I really hope to find a friend or friends who are genuine and can relate to me and my life and who will genuinely want to hang out with me. Now that I finally feel I have found my place in the world though getting my diagnosis, maybe now through this forum, I might just meet the right friend/friends.
