A lot of my problems come from not being identified as ‘autistic’ in childhood and the consequences of it. My doctor acknowledges this. She obviously wants to know more.

My mother has always been good to me. I have never doubted that she cared. When I was a child, I bonded and felt close to her. It was years later when I learned just how different I was that I felt wronged by her, so I guess this has affected me a lot more than I realize.

I am going to ask my therapist not to be so pushy on the issue. It is frustrating, because I have difficulties with comprehending and even identifying my feelings. I don't quite know what to make of it.

Thank you for all the help.
