I totally relate but wouldn't say it is weird, no. Forming new relationships is time and energy consuming, not just for autistic. I have focused so much of my life going towards other people. At various points, I would say I was even "good enough" at it. But maybe you will agree that maint...

I relate to this so much. The feeling of being broken has followed me my whole life. Why do I lose friends? I'm broken. Why do I feel uncomfortable in large groups? I'm broken. Why did I GED my way out of high school despite being intelligent? I'm broken. Why did I become addicted to drugs as a tee...

Hello (I feel like "welcome" would be a bit over-reaching since you've been here longer than me :) ) I have very different struggles but I relate to not being able to voice them. I don't know why I can't voice them, though. Your explanation is something for me to think about. Thank you fo...

(I understand that a diagnosis is a more serious thing for people with more severe symptoms. People needing accommodations probably need a formal diagnosis.) For me it felt important and essential to get a formal diagnosis even though I did not get any adaptations as a result. I had felt at odd wit...

Thank you all for your welcome and kind words. My partner has been supportive throughout my diagnosis and the death of my mum. Then he lost his 3 months later. Navigating through all this as well as looking after the kids has been challenging. My son struggled particularly or at least he is more voc...

Hello! I am a 47 female diagnosed with autism 4 years ago. I have an Nt partner and 2 early teens. One might also be on the spectrum. I have lost my mum recently (already lost my dad a while back) and life and parenting has become more challenging of late. I know I need to voice my troubles and I am...
