Effect of abuse on autistic kids

In understanding and surrender, there is hope and strength, I think.
I feel this way too quite a lot. Though at other times I feel so disappointed I could scream.

In some ways it was easier to deal with when I was a teenager, when the world didn't make sense I picked up my guitar and belted out Nirvana songs. I don't get the opportunity so much these days, but I would certainly enjoy it if I could do it like in the old days!
 
My abuse mostly happened after I had become an adult but there was still some abusive behavior once I had turned ten but it wasn’t as bad as it had gotten by the time I had to cut off ties with my abuser.

I've being battling depression and using all my strength to decide to make my life meaningful. Due to abuse I felt same as one stories, as if years went by and I was floating by and hazy and my memories were so repressed.
Now that I know what I missed out on and how beautiful life could've being it really depressed me but I'm too old to ever recover best years of my life.

I often feel this way too :-( It's like a broken vase. You can glue the pieces back together but it's never the same. Though to try and add some positivity, you do still have the vase at least :)
