I was diagnosed with Autism as a child but parents hid it from me I found out when I was 19 that I was diagnosed with Autism as a child (I have poor memory and don't remember) but my parents never told me or got me treated for it. I found out by going through my medical files from when I was adopted. I'm currently 24 and just recently started to come to terms with it because of my gf. I got involved with drugs and people who didn't have my wellbeing in mind. I'm now confused half the time, don't process things emotionally and I think the drugs left a permanent affect (wasn't super heavy but non the less worries me). I once felt a wide range of emotion but now I'm closer to that of a cardboard. Are there any other autistics gone through something similar and can provide advice?
