Hi everyone,
I'm new here. I'm 29 years old, I got my official diagnosis (Asperger's syndrome) almost three years ago and yet I'm still struggling to accept that I'm autistic. I often feel embarrassed about the ways in which I behave, speak, move ... even though it feels so natural to me. I'm terribly at pretending I'm someone else, someone who's neurotypical. I tried but it hollowed me out ... being around other autistic people really helps me so I thought I'd join the forum.
I also have chronic epilepsy. Does anyone else here have epilepsy and autism? I'd love to talk.
Lea
