Hi, my name is Josh (keeping lastname private) and I was diagnosed with ASD in 2007. I am 18 years old and Throughout my primary and highschool years (Australian=no middlw school) I have survived many of the struggles that result from ASD. When I was in primary school, my friends isolated my, started a bullyintg trend against me and conviinced everyone to ignore me.In my first 3 years of highschool (yrs 8 9 and 10) I was severely deppressed and had severe social anxiety as a result of my experiences and I was failing school. I hated my life and Was ready to commut suiciede. I stil struggle with dpression and social and gweneral anxoiety but I am getting better. I have been accepted into uni and will be studdying architecture in 2018. I am still struggling with mentqal health problems anfd i still have sociual issues yet I am aso succedding in comparison to frineds (that i met in yr 10, 11 and 12)
