I am 29 years old. I was recently diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. I have had problems all my life, but I did not know what was wrong. I have been hospitalized 3 times and each time I was given a different diagnosis. I have had PTSD, Major Depression, ADD, Bipolar, and Agoraphobia diagnoses in the past. I had a few people say I probably had autism, but I did not know what to do about that.
I am unable to work. The longest I have been able to work was for about 8 months.
When my wife and I learned that my oldest son had autism, I decided that I needed to get some help for myself. I am learning to work with my autism so I can help my son learn. Maybe I can help him live a better life than the one I had.
