Hi everyone I’m new here but was wondering if anyone could help me? Ever since I was young I was different to other people, my mum took me to be tested for autism when I was three but nothing ever came of it. Communication has always been difficult for me I only had one friend in primary school but she moved and I feel like other people only tolerated me. In secondary school I managed by surrounding myself with people that I called friends but I never really connected with. This was only so I wasn’t lonely but I never did anything outside school with them and if I had to I always felt out of place. Now I live with my parents, my grandma and my sister when she’s home and I only leave the house when someone is with me or I have to work. My job does not involve people at all and I don’t talk to anyone else. I won’t use a phone except my mobile but only to talk to my family on it. I tried to look up different mental health issues but nothing quite fits. I feel so isolated but I just don’t know what to do. Any ideas?

it may well be that your not but having another test eliminates or confirms your fears.maybe you should talk it over with your gp.do you have a counsellor.
in reply to kenster1
No I’ve never had a counsellor and I could talk to a GP but the problem is my family. They have gotten used to my quirkinesses and I don’t think they understand now lonely I am. I feel like I can’t talk to them about it because they’ve ignored it for so long. I don’t think I can do this alone.
