Update from me. I have had a mad couple of weeks. Some on here will know my previous usernames and know I have been a regular poster for years in this and the old depression thread.
In the last couple of weeks I have left the family home, without going into details it was messy with police involved.
Just through a weird coincidence my dad was back in England and I met up with him for the first time in 20ish years.
By pure luck and good timing I managed to get an autism assessment/diagnosis at short notice.
Sorry if I have the wrong poster but I think it was
@Hendon Mad Frog who read some of my posts and recognised that some of my issues may have been made harder because of autism rather than depression.
I have had a few beers so migh regret posting this tomorrow.
