Autism Support / by Stasia86

...See more I've been trying to understand myself more recently and am having such a hard time regulating my emotions.  It was suggested by a professional recently that my adult sister was probably on the spectrum. So I started researching autism. So many traits and symptoms hit home for me. I had never considered that maybe this was the reason for my unusual tendencies. My exhaustion from social situations.  I'm not sure if this is even the right place to ask... at my age (38) is it even worth pursuing a diagnosis? Are there any advantages to being officially diagnosed?

...See more I'm Stasia. I'm 38 and live in Southern Illinois USA. I have crippling anxiety and depression. I'm really uncomfortable talking about myself but decided I need to work on myself and figure out who I even am. I've been through a lot in my life but I don't feel like I'm allowed to be affected by it. I feel like life is slipping away from me and I'm too scared to experience what I want from it. I'm tired of my anxiety.  I want more.
