Hello!
I'm a just-turned-19-year-old trans girl from the UK, I'm not sure where to start but here we go
I was diagnosed on the Autisic Spectrum, but most of the time I'm referred as "high functioning". But I used to have high anxiety when going out and was depressed for some years too before I transitioned. I still get depressed when I don't get out of the house, and I need to be active everyday.
So, basically I'm hoping to study International Relations Law at university later this year, while there. Again, interested in languages: Français, Russian and Arabic that I'm trying to get a grasp of before I enter uni. I have a lot of tasks to do, that would probably bore you to death even going through them and finances, I don't want to even start.
I have had extreme trouble making friends at high school (mostly because I didn't feel like taking to anyone, felt the effort would strain my exam results and and sometimes I didn't know what to say).
Because I missed the time at high school to manage and make friends, I'm now literally pulling off all the stops to get conversations going, like reading books/watching videos, Facebook friends, even taking public transport to meet people and finding groups. All this to adapt to a world both in a physical sense and mental one too. But I feel that I need to put this work in just to cope and feel like I can get on a similar level to those w/o Autism. My parents always think I'm being hard on myself, which sometimes I agree with because I need to push myself right?
I don't really have a boyfriend or anything, and relationships seem like a big mystery (deep things like when do things get sexual or how to communicate are like a Pandora's Box). Again, I haven't focused on these issues because of my studies. I will feel glad if I got into uni, my subjects I took at school are not so compatible to my course choice.
Thanks for reading my intro
