I think I need some help. I’m 19 years old, and not so long ago I found out that I have a form of autism. I know that it’s strange to hear that I found this just now but I always thought that my problems were due to the fact that I’m a shy person. Now, that I know what it my situation and what’s my problem, I understand why I don’t have so many friends. I have read some information about this, I’m still not sure if all the information that I have read is true so I would like to know and to read more here, from those who knows better or how have passed through this, somebody who can share with me some real stories might help me a lot. I would like to know if it is possible to cure it, if there is possible to eliminate it once and forever… not so long ago I just started my new job and this job requires talking with costumers. I always have had some problems with communication but I know that I can do this and this job is really important for me I don’t want to lose it just because of this disease. Even if you would tell me that there is nothing that I can do, and even if I would find out that it can’t be totally cured, I would like to find out at least how to manipulate it, what to do in order to improve my communication skills and to keep it under (at least) some control. I’m sure that there are some exercises or there exist some other methods that can help me. Please help me, I’m really desperate and I don’t know what to think.
