I am a high-functioning autistic teen with panic disorder. If this wasn't enough to deal with already, I also have issues with other people not understanding or liking me. At school, people act nice in front of me, but then they call me an ugly b**** behind my back. My cousins are horrible and never include me. My sister never has time for me. I have no friends whatsoever, just sitting alone at break and lunch. Then my parents are another story altogether. They treat me like dirt and shout at me whenever I get upset. If I tell them that they are being rude, they dismiss this as low mood. I explained to my mum about how I felt and she told me to shush and stop complaining. I often get upset and cry in my room, yet nobody comes and asks me if I am okay. I just feel like a lonely outsider. On a lot of advice forums, people laugh at me and insult me. What am I doing wrong? Why does everyone hate me?
