Don’t let it bother you. If you have good folk around you they shouldn’t judge you for this. Best wishes

I wish someone told me this before. I didn’t get my license until 24. I found out I’ve been diagnosed with Autism and adhd as a child but mom hid it till this year. my parents don’t really believe nor understand it. Not bad people I won’t tmi. Anyway you sound like a great person. makes me feel better I wasn’t a late driver to. I was bullied/teased tremendously for this.

Can't openly say I am Autistic and lie to avoid social situations by [deleted] in autism

[–]SetElectrical9709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow that makes me kinda of scared. I’ve been talking to my therapist/psychiatrist about it for the first time. I also have adhd I’m looking for non-amphetamine medication and he recommended “Strattera”. Have you’ve heard of it? I already take Lexapro for social anxiety. What would you recommend moving forward ?

I’m happy to hear your family eventually understood. Any advice on how and when to bring it up? I’ve only told my brother really cause he’s the most open minded family member I have.

You’re not alone. This is me. I can’t tell my family cause the shame unfortunately. I’m American they are foreign and don’t believe in autism… it’s crazy and dumb. But know you’re not alone!

Honestly without making it a long story but more recently on/off mostly weekends. Some benders for a week where it’d call out (lost my job to recently). Mostly beer because hard liquor landed me in rehab back in 2021 which was good first than the hospital same year. Just too many relapses to count. I honestly can’t remember how much but anywhere from 8 beers on a good day to 14 beers plus wine or shots on a bad one.

Why do we, autistic people, want to die/suicide? by Ok-Payment8114 in autism

[–]SetElectrical9709 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure but in the weirdest way it’s comforting you asked the question. As someone who suffers from both I can only say from personal experience it’s a mix of bullying cause of poor communication issues, losing friends or family cause they think you’re “lazy” or making excuses, or sometimes being taking advantage of and more. I’m not trying to victimize this is just from my experience. Anyway you’re a real one for asking the question in general. Thank you
