Hi Everyone.

My name is Julia. I've never joined a forum before but i hear it helps a lot!

The main thing I am finding difficult is that I have no one to talk to because no one understands. If i tell my friends i have aspergers, they just go 'oh' because they don't know what it is. I don't want to ask them to read up on it because I would feel like i was being really self centered... It's the same with my boyfriend. If i tell him to read something about it, he just thinks i'm trying to attract attention.

Does anyone else relate to this?

I am not diagnosed, but I have all the symptoms. I was put on anti depressants 2 years ago but they don't help my meltdowns.

Jules xx

Hey, welcome!

Julia, you and I are a lot alike. Sometimes I have no one to talk to also and not alot of people understand me either. I hope you can be happy on this forum because I believe that you are a nice person and I think that you'll make a lot of new friends here. I can be your friend if you want. :heart:

Welcome to Wrong Planet. This forum does help tremendously especially with getting practical advice & someone who understands you. Also I would recommend an official diagnosis so people stand less of a chance of saying 'you're making this up.' Nope, you have the proof then, as it were.

Hope you find a lot of good stuff!
