For future reference (to everyone) I don’t mind answering any questions - I’m not a brilliant wordsmith though


Apparently I’m one of the lucky ones in that even though I suffer ( in many ways ) due to autism.. I am AWARE that I’m different and able to learn / develop strategies to help me cope and even appear to be somewhat normal .

So I can blend into everyday life / work / meetings/ gatherings / parties and nobody would guess how traumatic each and every day can be ..

Many autistics are trapped ( to varying degrees obviously) in their own little worlds.

That does admittedly sound rough, especially knowing how spiteful some people can be to anyone that's noticeably different to themselves.

And don't worry about being a wordsmith, I'm the furthest thing from a wordsmith that you could possibly get.

I'm glad that you weren't offended by my question, because I know that I was going a bit personal, thank you for the reply.

When I had my mental breakdown I thought my life was over. I've come a long way since 2014. I wasn't suffering to the extent she is but it was bad enough.

I think that most of us wish that we could help people like this woman.

But unfortunately the world is cruel.

And I'm glad to know that life has picked up for you Kate.

This woman is in charge of her own life. I'm sure she's spent a lot of time considering the options and listened to lots of people telling her that life is worth living. In my opinion her life is her own and so long as she hasn't been coerced and knows all the implications people should respect her decision.
