The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Uhm... not sure how you mean the question. I'll try...
As teenager, I got to dislike myself more and more, feeling lonely often. Trying to adapt (to be like others) never worked, instead, at some point, caused an explosion of teasing, which pretty much got me in depression.
When I came to faith, I was experiencing extremely much shame and fear (and having depression). I really wished for God to cure all just instantly, but -- well, anyway, after a few years, it appears most shame is gone, and there is far less fear. This is completely Gods work. Though unfortunately I'm still rather unsure.
At some point, in some retreat weekend , someone told me she recognized some of autism (as her son had autism also, she kinda recognized), and... in the end I got diagnosed as having AS. The most that helped has been through reading/hearing of others, that certain behaviors or experiences belong to AS.
Often I experience Gods rest, at times, Gods warmth. Though there are other times that I feel deep loneliness

well heres mine, my early childhood, was out of control, i hit my parents i was sent away. i was later put on seizure meds which controlled everything. and then i got disgnosed with AS. 2 years later i got saved and this didint end my problems, for the first few years i had deep peace. but i was afriad and weak, and went thru so much persceution and pain. 5 years later god is now hidden and i dont have the peace anymore but the factthat im a strogner person leaves me to believe he is still working miracles in my life.

Testimony, Huh?
Short - I was in a non-chistian church, left it, found a spirit filled group, Recieved Jesus and the Holy Spirit, been saved @ 34 years. Yes, we Aspies can believe and be saved.
Long - No, nobody wants to hear all the belly-aching of a bad childhood. The Lord delivers and has a purpose for us all.

God graciously saved me on January 12th , 2007. God used someone's testimony on Christian Forums in drawing me to Himself. I asked Jesus to be my own Saviour, and to come into my heart, and i felt God 's love flooding my heart. I heard God say to me in my thoughts: " You have now passed from death to life. " I am aware now of God caring for me in a special way, of God's guidance and leading in my life each day. I know that Jesus is my own Saviour, and i owe everything to Jesus, who gave His life to rescue me. I can never repay Jesus , but i want to live a life of gratitude and love to God , by Jesus' - (God, The Son) -enabling. I want my life to be a prayer of thankfulness to God for saving me.
