Autism diagnosis troubles

Post Reply New Topic

It might not just be that other people don’t want to talk to me anymore. To be honest ever since I got my autism diagnosis, I haven’t been trying that hard at life. That includes forming relationships. Maybe I should just forget I ever got that diagnosis. Just seems like life used to have more spontaneity and magic in it. Could be my antipsychotic medication making me lacklustre. Just, nothing is happening. I have no social life other than going to soup kitchens and hanging out with people my parents age. Had a friend my moms age for a while. Had to stop being her friend because she was a drug addict and always was trying to get money out of the people she knew. She never did that to me. Just asked if she could get me to score some drugs for her. I ended up saying no, so she didn’t push me to, just went on to the next person to go out for her. Anyway, she is still a pretty cool and smart person. Thinking of just visiting her every once in a while, but not getting too close...

She probably needs a friend though she needs to come off the drugs as se seems dependent. I understand you do not want to get too close due to this. It is such a shame people get mixed up with drugs because it really messes up peoples life. Yes, I understand those who enjoy them but there is a price to pay.. A consequence and it is a horrible price for those who end up dependent on them to have to endure. She seems a nice lady.

Oh if only people did not need to turn to things like that for their enjoyment. (And don't you get trapped into them).

You do need an adventure. Something to inspire you.. To lead you on. To get stuck into. To laugh again and have fun!

An adventure you say? Got any ideas?

Uhmm. If it was me it would involve trains somewhere or castles or bike rides? Uhmmm. Haha!
I don't know what sort of things that you like?

Honestly I’ve been wanting to visit the UK for a while now but won’t be able to get a plane ticket for quite some time. The train idea ain’t bad because it would be a cheaper way to travel, I think. Then it would just be a matter of going from one province to another, here in Canada. I suck at saving money right now but in the future this could happen, if I make money. My best bet would just be to get a bike, get out of the crappy town I live and go to a nearby tourist town for the day. So that would be possible in the warmer Canadian months. Not sure what to do this winter though.

Busses are much cheaper here in the UK, though I find trains easier. (Though I have rarely travelled at all by train since I last worked them).
You could plan a trip to the UK in the future. Something to look forward to. We all need adventures. britain has lovely castles and beaches. Wales is especially rich in castles and has some lovely beaches too.
At the moment travelling to Britain is not a good idea as we are on lockdown, so think of it as a long term goal for an adventure.

Cycling is fun! (Err.. I tell myself that when it is cold and raining! Haha! But it is fun).

Oh my God. I forgot about the pandemic thing. How embarrassing. So like all I can do, is travel to a different town. But traveling to a different province right now isn’t a good idea. No not a good idea to go to the UK right now either. I know you guys have castles over there and I want to see them.

My adventure during the winter will have to be visiting a restaurant in my town I’ve never been to I guess. There’s a nature trail just outside my town, but I’m afraid of being attacked by wild animals. Gotta learn some defence mechanisms I guess. I’ve been wanting to go wale watching in B.C. For years now. It would be easier just to watch them here on the east coast though. But it would involve getting a person to drive me to the wale watching places and right now not sure who that would be.

Wales as a country which is part of the UK.

Yes.. Castles. I can name a few nearby castles to where I live you can look up on the internet to look at? Cilgerran castle, Laugharne castle, Pembroke castle, Llanstephan castle, Manorbier castle, Kidwelly castle, Dinevwr castle, Drysllwyn castle, Carreg Cennan castle, Carew castle, Weobly castle, Llawhaden castle... These are a few nearby castles. There are many more.

Thanks! I will check them out.

Enjoy.
