I'll be out of mental hospital soon.

I understand how you feel. I'm autistic and I used to have a really hard time socializing and being accepted by others. I had no friends and was lonely and depressed. I felt hopeless because I thought autism was genetic and that there was nothing I could do about it. I later learned that I can have friends, be happy, and live a decent life. You may be different but there are people who will accept you the way you are. People misunderstand you often now but you can change that by asking questions on WP about why you were misunderstood and you can practice socializing so you can get better. Some people will get pissed at you when they misunderstand but don't let it bother you. It's not your fault they misunderstood. When someone gets angry because they misunderstand you, tell them something like, "I'm sorry. I think you misunderstood me" and then talk to them about it so you can express yourself better next time.

I think you should tell the staff at the hospital and your parents how you feel. Tell them you need help socializing so you won't be so lonely and depressed. There are probably social skills programs and therapy that can help you learn. You can go to the library or ask your parents to buy you books on Asperger's syndrome and socializing so you can learn how to improve.

Please don't give up or cut yourself because there is hope. Some things that help me are reminding myself that none of us are perfect, thinking positive, and focusing on what I can do to improve myself and make my life better. Instead of being depressed because you are lonely, think about what you can do to socialize better, make friends, and be accepted. I'm confident you can get better and be happy.[/quote]

But I'm so tired, how could I be better when I don't understand?
And I can't ask my moms to buy books or something cause she won't accept the diagnosis, atleast she says I got a very little of AS (???) and she doesn't know anything about it still she says so!
I can't write more now, I gotta go but I'll be back in a couple of days!
