| I had no suspicion of being autistic before being diagnosed, diagnosis was proposed by other people because they saw me struggeling a lot and being out of synch with many aspects of "normal life", but I was too much into myself to even realize it. Sometimes I regret the gained consciousne... |

| yeah I know what you mean, I spend a year and a half suspecting Asperger's, and I somehow thought knowing would help me in a practical way, in terms of getting a job etc. instead I still feel as if I can't do things, but now that's gotten worse. I was so sure I had it and so sure that knowing would ... |

| I am happy to be diagnosed, I wanted to know for ages and now I do. but I now feel a lot more awkward with people and I just feel more unhappy and I don't want to be with people as much. I am thinking that my knowledge that I have Asperger's, is making me self conscious, more aware or I am thinking ... |

| Apart from my immediate family no one else in my family really cares that much, which suites me fine. As for my immediate family, it took about a year to convince them that I had it and getting a diagnosis was necessary, but after that they accepted it well enough and said it explained an awful lot.... |

I have not gone out in months, I spend my day doing stuff in the house, I am currently doing an online course, I live with my parents, I have no direct reason to go out so I don't.
people keep saying its no good but I don't understand why, I am confused, I don't like going outside. |

most of the time I don't really recognise or think I am lonely, then I have episodes of lonliness, they never last long though.
I sometimes wonder whether I just feel I should be lonely because most people like seeing friends and want to go out. its hard to tell |
