Too much information that is not necessary for an employer to know. You need to condense it into maybe something like "family and personal issues which you have now worked through, and you are looking forward to starting work".
I was also bullied, lost my father when I was 19 (and then both maternal grandparents within 18 months of my Dad), and depression for over 20+ years - so I do know a little of what you are going through.0 -

Whatever the impact, none of those are reasons not to have a job. And the employer isn't going to want to hear them - or rather they will be read as not wanting to touch you with a barge pole. That's not harsh, that's the reality.
Do you want an employer to know about your ASD? That will affect how you explain the last few years.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

You can't change the past, but you can control your future.
Took me a many years of therapy to realise that.0
