I have never reached out to anyone via this method before, so please forgive me if I'm using it wrong. I've had a very difficult day and needed to talk to someone, anyone who might understand. Possibly suggest a direction that might seem remotely feasible. I don't know. Just tell me I'm not insane.

I am absolutely positive I am somewhere on the spectrum although I have not been diagnosed. I am 33 and just found all this info a few months ago. I've been reading nonstop ever since. Every story I read is like a scene or time period out of my life. I had no idea before this why everything seemed so hard. Now, I put a name to it and know I need support. Every time I approach my mother about it... let's just say that it's not received well. She is clearly disinterested in even reading a single article about it, let alone working with me on this. I seem to be stuck in a place where I need help to reach out, but I need to reach out to get help. Everything seems impossible. I feel like I'm running out of options before I even had a chance to begin.

Please help. I don't know what to do from here.

Welcome, ms. marbayman. Make yourself at home and poke around -- this is a big site with lots of sections. I'm sure you'll find something of interest. (Just stay away from all the weirdos who hang out in the Politics forum, though, if you value your sanity.) :lol:
