-3. I attempted to open up about one of my issues (i.e., come out of the closet) to someone. I briefly introduced the subject, without relating it to myself, and was immediately met with derision and mockery, as well as calling my sanity into question for being interested in such a subject. I have recently come to terms with such issues and am more self-accepting, but that just made me feel dirty and stupid. I currently don't have the mental and physical resources to be open if that's the response to expect. I'll be keeping everything, including my AS diagnosis, to myself after all. I accept them, but they are incapable of doing the same for me.
I have a referral to receive support for the autism and other issues, with an approximate date, but the wait will be another 1/2 year.
