Thank you, this has actually been going on for about 2 years not just recently.

I also apologize for not responding to your pm, I read it but just couldn't respond, please accept my apology

What ever you do.. do not commit suicide. That will do more bad than good. I went through a stage of depression. In retrospect I still don't recognize who that person was. Long story short find something that makes you happy. Write, sing, play a sport, laugh at your own jokes. It gets better...I promise

Do you like sport?
In The Hague there is a swimming club `for gay men "De plons``

There is also a gay volleyball club "lange pooten"

Therapy is a good solution, suicide isn't.

Medication can sometimes help but side effects can be nasty (incl. sexual dysfunction). I have tried a mild antidepressant called tianeptine, very effective and no side effects whatsoever.

Have you thought of seeing a councilor and a support group.
It never hurts to get someones opinion who is a professional .

I've been trying to find something fun I've tried the following:
Dancing
Writing
Drawing
Boxing
Judo
Fitnes
Jogging
Basketbal
Handball
Volleyball
Football
Cycling
Just can't seem to find something that is fun.

Well I'm not sexually active so that shouldn't matter to much then.

I have thought about it however I do not want my family to know and wasn't sureif that was possible.

Well, not to sound rude, but is your autism being treated? That should be your first step, is to learn how to work with your autism.

This might help...

If you are not being treated, then you should get some advice from professionals on how you can adapt yourself to social situations with the level of autism you have.

Some of your past relationships may have failed due to the fact that you are not social enough for them. (just a theory)

You need to get some information on how to work with what you have, in order to be able to work in social situations, make friends, and have longer lasting relationships. If you contact the organization I posted the link too, they may know of some LGBT autism groups you can talk too.
It doesn't hurt to ask them. At the very least they can refer you to other places or give you some advice on how to handle social situations.

I don't know what level of autism you have or the effects it has on you............but I would suggest physical exercises as a daily part of your life. It keeps you busy, helps keep your mind focused on one thing at a time, and keeps your body in motion. I have noticed that people with low grades of autism seem to do better when occupied with something that keeps their minds focused.

For some reason, I am sensing physical exercise might work for you. Maybe weight lifting or aerobics.

The main thing is, you need to talk to someone and get information/advice from people who know.

You aren't being rude in the slightest.

My family doesn't have the money for it, we just barely have enough to live through a month, they wanted to give me treatments for autism but I refused because it would've costed 6000 euro's, I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing my parents would have a 6000 euro debt because of me.

I'm very bad socially I know that of myself, sometimes I tell myself to just go up to someone and start talking but not a single word leaves my mouth.

I'm a very quiet person, only speaking when spoken to.

I was tested about 5 years ago and I turned out to be on the heavier side of autism.

I already do physical exercises daily, 30-40 minutes in total and do cardio and weight lifting both 2 hours each ever week.

I will call that organization though and definitely ask for advice, thank you for linking it.
