I was professionally diagnosed by my psychiatrist that I have ASD, Autism spectrum disorder. This diagnosis hit home to me, because I always had difficulty in communication, and it just match it all. I have searched online for autism, and it is an intellectual disability. I only had this diagnosis in December 2020 at the age of 25, I wished I would have known it earlier, but so glad now I know.

Due to my autism, I have very few friends, I only have 2 friends in real life. I had more in the past, but they all left me. I wonder whether my Autism was the cause that I was bullied at school relentlessly. I was bullied from primary to secondary school nonstop. It was severe trauma I had endured on a daily basis.

I'm glad you have finally got an official diagnosis. Although I don't suffer from ASD I am quite familiar with being a victim of bullying.

I've often wondered whether my mental illness made me a target of bullies.

Bullying is extremely distressing, demoralizating and traumatic. My heart goes out to you.
