Hi,
I am new to autism and just got diagnosed and new to this website. I does not know what to expect with this new diagnosed. I do know that I do understand myself better and my therapist now can put the pieces of puzzles together when it comes to me. I does not have any support meaning family member. I have a few friends who are very busy, so I am literally by myself. It is hard not to have support because I gets overwhelm easy and have meltdowns alot. I have had case manager but is my first time just left to fend for self. I am going to be meeting a case manager for works with autsim adults and I am nervous because I does not know what to expect. If it was not for my individual therapist I would be lost and problem end me. The sad thing is that in a few months I will not longer able to see her because I will have medicare. It makes me cry a lot and does not want to do much.
Apart from autism I have multiply health changes and does not work. I have a LTC case manager but she does not help me with anything apart from having an aid (nurse). Sometimes I think if I ever become homeless she would not care much and only would place me in a ALF. I miss having a case manager who saw me weekly or monthly and cares about if I have food, shelter ( help if I need rental assistance for a month or two) and medical etc. I alot of times feel like am an out cast and a burden to society because of just been me. My therapsit keep saying to be open to been adopted (but impossible I told her because I am in my 40's) she thinks it is possible. I laugh after her. Anyways that a bit about me. I does not know if anyone else is like me out there because sometimes I think that I am the only one in this world like myself.

Dear Rose - so glad you joined WP, after reading of your life and current situation. I hope you feel less alone by posting here, and that you might find support and friendship here. Lovely to meet you .

Hello... You are not alone. I am here and lots of us are here. OK, it is online... But there are people here to chat to.

Hopefully less alone and more solitary from now on

There’s a whole tribe of us! Just scattered over the face of the earth rather than all in one place

Welcome to WP

Thanks. Am speechless. I appreciate support. Good to know that there are others like me out there.

When I joined last may, I only joined to ask a single question and I am still here! This place is great!
