Dear MisunderstoodAutistic:

The idea behind professionals diagnosing their patients with either physical or mental conditions and illnesses is to put together a treatment plan specifically designed for the particular diagnosis. But it seems like after you received a diagnosis (Autism) at the age of 38, no treatment plan followed.

I am sorry that you suffered so much and for so long, physically and emotionally. It looks like your sister tried to help you when she moved you to her flat 4 hours away from where you lived,  and that she’s been having a difficult time herself (“no hot running water, broken sink, her mess everywhere, including dirty pots in the bath, kitchen floor, living room etc.“)

Having read your other thread, it looks like you are considering returning to the area where you used to live, 4 hours away. If that’s the only solution to your living situation (having to vacate your sister’s flat in a few days), then you should move back to the area where you lived before.

Again, I am sorry about your distress and hope that by Christmas you will be situated comfortably in a new place!
