Hey, I'm new and not feeling too great.

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, I'm Hannah, I'm 18 and I was recently assessed and diagnosed with Aspergers after the very long and arduous process of trying to get adults to take me seriously when I felt like there was something wrong.

One of my closest friends recently passed away and I lost the few other friends I had because they felt like there was something wrong with me because I wasn't grieving the same way as them- I'm not very good at making new friends but I'm better at talking online than face to face.

Maybe I could talk to some people here?

Welcome to you, I'm free to talk, if you prefer. In any event, it isn't uncommon for people on the autism spectrum to process emotions differently, though grief can affect everyone differently.

I remember as a child, when my grandpa died, I was disturbed with myself for not feeling like it affected me as it affected everyone else; even so, lack of overwhelming emotion doesn't mean you don't care.

I'm sure you will find much in common with people here and I pray this community proves helpful to you.
