Do your friends and loved ones know your identity in this place?

No but we have to remember it is a public forum. i hope no one has worked me out.

Me too.  I am a little more paranoid that most....perhaps.  it is actually those OTHER than my neatest and dearest finding my thoughts on here that concerns me the most.  I would definitely not wish for that.

There's nothing on here I wouldn't say to the people who know me well altho i do tend to overshare on here. I also think it'd be an eye opener. I also know they are probably not things that anyone I know would find interesting. I think a lot of people don't over analyse themselves like I or maybe other autistic people do. They don't need to go on forums to work themselves out. They don't need clarification from others about their experiences. 

Exactly.

Facing the truth isn't all hardness and disadvantage, It seems to make it easier to be happy with ones self, and make you end up surrounded by the people who can "take it" without melting down.

I used to need people to tell me I was O.K. Now I don't. I know where I'm O.K. and where I need to do work. And that massive workload will keep me busy until I die. It's my one job.
