Is it ever a "good time" to be sad? I'm sorry things are like this now for you, but... cheer up! It gets better from here, it really does. Socially, all it really takes is one good friend you can truly count on to be there for you. You'll find it

Unfortunately, early adulthood is the time that depression tends to hit hardest. The good news is it only gets better. I don't know how early you're talking, but high school tends to be the most difficult social period of life. Once you get past it, you not only have a chance to redefine yourself, but you hit a crowd of people who also want nothing more than to find new people and redefine themselves as well.

Just one last thing... it's never too late! There's such a time limit put on us by our parents and by society, that we feel like everything has to be done in such a short timespan. Preschool, elementary, secondary, then four years of college bringing up the prospect of grad school. WAY too much, if you ask me. There's really no rush. Take your time, do what you need to do, and try to preserve some of your sanity with it!

Always around to talk if you need, and good luck with everything!

PS: My brother has Asperger's, and I believe I have a *small* touch of it too, so I do understand where you're coming from. Let's just say I'm no social butterfly xD
