I HATE having high functioning autism!

Post Reply New Topic

It's ruining my life. I have sensory issues such as extreme sensitivity to sounds. I have social difficulties, impaired speech and abnormal behaviour. I simply hate being an autist. What should I do? I'ts negatively impacting every day of my life. I can't enjoy life anymore. Can't establish relations with others.

I can't even get help because no one wants to help me. I asked for help yesterday and because of how bad I am at expressing my feelings they had to call the cops to take care of me yesterday, simply because I'm bad at formulating negative thoughts. Can't even get help.

I hate autism. What should I do?

For sound sensitivity there are noise reduction headphones and there are “white noise” machines.

As for help is the cliniction who diagnosed you still around? Are there any Autism associations or support groups for adult autistics near where you live? Are there any relatives who might be willing to go with or advocate for you?

Judgeing by your post you can communicate your feelings online. So try via email or online to contact people.

I think diversions/escapes are sometimes very much needed.
Reading, music, anime, art, etc. can help de-stress at times. Hopefully you'll find some of these helpful as well.

I can't really condemn you my friend because to be honest with you I have all of the same issues that you do. I will suggest you take a drug called Mirtazapine which has certainly dulled the effects of high functioning Autism and Asperger's Syndrome. It also helps me to sleep during the night and the effects throughout the day are that sensory issues seem more manageable. Any kind of sedative for people like us is a great idea I am sure.

I see from your profile that you're from Sweden so you have a much better chance of getting medical help in Sweden then you do in Canada. The benefits of the Canadian Healthcare system are often touted around the world but it's not as great as you might think for people with Autism. The biggest problem people like us face is that nobody believes we are disabled in any way because of the high-functioning aspect of it all. Garnering sympathy for our situation is even harder for NTs to grasp because of that fact as well.

All I can suggest is take full advantage of the Swedish Healthcare System because of all the places in the world to have Autism, Sweden would be the place I'd want to have it. More's the pity since I'm half Swedish myself and I've never seen Sweden yet.
