Desperate times call for desperate measures...

I've been having a hard time coping with High functioning autism, ADHD and Severe anxiety, as you know... it's getting so hard to cope with people who don't know what its like. I can't communicate verbally and everything I say has to be written down or I can't get out my thoughts. It's hard to explain to my psychiatrist what I'm feeling. He can't sit there taking the time to read my journal because he has other people to see and things to do.

Everything that my parents have tried, that I've tried, I am denied because of my age or not being severe enough just because I can communicate. I can communicate, yes, but not very well. I can talk but I still lack social interaction and as said above, explaining what is bothering me or whatever in a very in depth explanation. I'm slowly sliding into a deep depression because of this.

My problems make it hard to hold a job or even attend a college because I have so many needs that can't be covered to insure my comfort. I just want to know if I should try to push for getting therapies that help those with autism; that don't cause me to throw a tantrum every time I can't handle too much eccessive stress.

I don't like the idea of sitting down and talking to someone because of my lack of verbal communication and explaining things. Is there anything I can do that would require less stress and thinking. Support groups make me really nervous too. I don't want it to be something that will disrupt my routine either.

I need options you guys, before I spiral into a huge nervous breakdown.

iheartmegahitt, I really feel for you. Your issues really do put mine into perspective.

Best wishes

Have you tried medication to treat your sensitivity issues or ADHD symptoms?
