Hi

[Theochz]

Okay so hi. I'm new I guess, I'm not so sure what to say. My name is Theodor, but I prefer theo i like it better. Im 19 and diagnosed with high functioning Autism though I feel like I dont enjoy the term "high functioning" so much because it makes me feel bad when I'm not doing great. So yeah I'm half American and half Spanish and I'm living in spain I doubt this is interesting or important information but anyways there's not much else to say I guess I'm not a very interesting person I like to read a lot and I've been diagnosed for a while now but I kept trying to deny it and be "normal" anyways Im at a point where I'm trying to accept it and I'm struggling a lot lately with everything from daily things like getting out of bed and eating to maintaining friends and I've started to go to therapy and I'm on some medication I guess but I've been having a rough time lately I guess and many meltdowns so things aren't that great (i also have depression and ptsd) so that's me I guess I don't talk about myself very much I'm a very hype happy person despite what i have gone through and am going through and I like friends I just dont know how to make them or keep them but yeah this is me!

Welcome, Theo! I remember being 19, depressed and with a case of PTSD...so I relate. It was a hard journey for me, but here I am, 10 years later.

I hope you find this forum a good place to learn and share and connect.
