Was recommended this forum by somebody, so decided to give it a try.
If anybody will understand me, it's people on here!

I've recently been diagnosed with Aspergers, with OCD and Social Anxiety Disorder, but obviously i've always been 'different'.

Also, i've been given the diagnosis and that's sort of that...i've not been offered any help or support, even though i'm really struggling at the moment. So kind of not sure where to go from here?

not even any meds? you should check into exposure with response prevention therapy for the OCD and CBT for the social phobia.

No, no meds, no therapy, nothing.
It's like they think just because i'm an adult that i'm fine and don't need anything.

Hello, and welcome to WP! :)

...May I ask you what country you live in?- If you are from the UK, then you could ask your GP to refer you to a psychology for CBT to help with your anxiety...OR for social skills training.
