The Journey Through Autism For Me

<MAKING FRIENDS>

I struggle with friendships and making friends because I'm different.

Conversation can be a difficult for me. (Finding things to say) can be challenging.

Even though I may like to speak about a particular interest, Like music, Movies, and ps4.

it is difficult to understand why people act friendly towards me.

me having autism I find it hard to tell a fake friend from a true friend. I have people take advantage of me most of the time. for an example thought I had a best friend on my ps4 he said he was going to help me get with I was looking for, so I gave him me cash app number and he took all my money. Of course, mom tried to get it back but no luck. Mom ending up giving me my money back, but I felt bad.

Most of the time when I try to make friends, they don’t understand what I’m saying that upsets me because I know what I’m saying.

As for school, I stopped going right before my 16th birthday. Everyone thought it was for the best because I started to have Stress related seizures, I was having over 10 a day in school. High school was just too big for me!

This was me at our family Christmas party, that's my brother holding me. Lets just say it ended bad and i almost missed Christmas due to almost 2 weeks in the hospital.

This was the worst year of my life

Now I'm home schooled and I don't go out to much, but i haven't had a seizure since .
