Hi Everyone - I'm new here

Post Reply New Topic

Hi everyone. Just signed up today. My name is David. I'm 33 years old and from California. I was diagnosed with Aspergers when I was 13. I live alone. I'm in a long distance relationship. I'll be blunt about this - life is really hard for me. I struggle greatly with anxiety and depression, among other things. Thought it was finally time to join a autism support forum. I just can't go through life on my own anymore, it's just too difficult. Too many people have left my life cause they simply can't handle my autism. I go to an autism support group every friday, and it's a terrific group, but I've realized showing up to a group once a week is not enough. I need to be in daily contact in one form or another with others who go through similar struggles as I do.
I love to write and journal. I hope to get into psychology someday and help the mainstream community understand what it's like to live with autism.

Greetings friend. I can relate to having to deal with anxiety and depression, I struggle with that every single day. I would consider yourself lucky though that you have a public place to go to with other people on the spectrum, I have no such luxury where I'm from.

Anyway, welcome aboard.

Welcome to Wrong Planet Davideus85. I hope you find what you need here. 'Take what you need and leave the rest' is some advice from another source that seems applicable here.

Welcome, David. We're glad to have you.
