Feeling more and more unwanted.

Thankfully I have my family here in the SW of England .They love me and I love them. I'm not as isolated as I was when living in Essex. I've given up trying to have more social interaction. I'm not willing to subject myself to even more of the emotional pain that goes with social rejection.
What we can do here is talk, explore, find courage through supporting eachother, I am a volunteer, as is Verity, we both have commitments outside of Neurovoice, eg work college, we both have our own challenges, same as any other autistic person. Sometimes I have my own mental health difficulties, that doesnt mean that I dont still want to interact with others online, but my avalibility of social spoons is reserved for me, and my focus is on what will help me and meet my needs in those periods.
What I do get sometimes is a flu like reaction to stress.
Re the harm ,psychological or otherwise, there's an ongoing clinical negligence claim.
