Hi everyone, I am a 45 year old man in New Zealand. Here the mental health system is completely fkd, I have had various mental health and social issues my whole life, I was raised solely by my emotional detached father, I have been seeing a counsellor who thinks I might have some form of autism, I have seen a lot of media on the Internet that has made me feel confident that this is true, but here in nz being diagnosed as an adult is a very expensive and time consuming process. And as far as support for adult autism goes, it is almost non existent. I have 0 friends and 0 caring family. So I have joined this group in hope that I can get some advice on how to approach some of my many flaws and find a way to finally be happy in this life, I am totally alone in this world and the loneliness is killing me inside.
