I have posted a thread in Are most guests neurotypical saying I am feeling low-but I have dealt with long periods of isolation since I can remember-However when I have had a bad turn, I may well isolate for weeks on end-sometimes it is by what some would term choice-I would argue that acute anxiety and fear, combined with depression is not a matter of choice. My isolation is deep rooted and I have no friends where I live. over the last decade I have been alone for around 98 percent of the time. I would like to hear about other peoples experience of this and how they have coped- I agree that Knowledge is power and certainly since my official diagnosis of Aspergers I have found it easier to accept my limitations and have endeavored to try and reach out to the world but I still struggle with this. I do not wish to live alone and would dearly love to be a father(maybe too late for that) and have a lifelong partner-this is much more difficult in your late forties for a multitude of reasons-(that is another post)
