Good point! I suppose this is why I felt like writing about it, just to show how little is known by most people about Autism, and yes, that was certainly me last year. I suppose when I told them I hoped to get understanding, but with some friends I have mostly hidden my struggle, so of course, they find it hard to believe there is any!

It’s similar to my drinking problem, which I also hid, and then was disappointed/confused that nobody had noticed. Bless me…

This is a useful contribution, though. Disclosing when relevant, rather than just because it’s at the forefront of my mind. Not that I can really filter myself that much, but it does make sense.

Thanks for taking the time to write.
