    @Creativeboy23 This sounds really difficult, joining an exercise class sounds like a good idea. Are you in education? Some schools/colleges/universities have fitness areas and classes. I think that everyone can exercise, it just looks different for everyone depending on their ability/health/preferences etc. It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of pressure from your family, have you got a support network such as friends that you could talk this over with?

    It must be hard when your family doesn't understand the implications of your condition, especially something as complex as autism.

    Is exercising something you would like to do, or is more due to the expectation from your family? Exercising and healthy eating is good in moderation, but it can be difficult to keep up with, so you don't need to do anything overly ambitious. It could just be going on a 15 minute walk every day and then see how you get on from there.

    I hope things get better for you <3

    It's easier said than done but I would try your best to ignore your family when they treat you like that

    Hello @Creativeboy23

    I'm so sorry that your family is taking a toll on your self-esteem. I know it can be hard to find motivation to do something when the decision seems forced and coming from someone else. It's amazing though that you have kept up exercising in some way by walking. It's also great that you're opening up about your experiences in the discussion boards. Is there any particular issue you think you want to focus on or you want help with? We're here to offer support and signpost you to any resource you might need

    @Creativeboy23 I won't tolerate what your family did to you! What motherf***ers!

    Just ignore the comments and tell them about how you feel. If they still keep up with this, I suggest reporting it to the police, because what your dad and bro are doing is F***ING ABUSE. I don't want you to get hurt :scream:
