Hi, everybody. I'll try to get to the point without blabbering on.
I have not been formally diagnosed, but it's obvious. I'm a woman in my 50s and although I'm not particularly interested in social interaction, I *am* tired of being "the only one who_____" all the time. Anyone relate?
Like I said, I don't need to be *around* other people like me. It would just be nice to know that there are some people like me, somewhere. It's hard not seeing oneself reflected in any way in the larger community. Does any of this sound like any of you? I'm not looking for personal messages or anything. Just a "yeah, me too" would be enough.
Thanks
Welcome 88629, I am Number.
Congratulations on finding your people. You and I are kin.
Cousins perhaps, but from the same truth.
I fear that many of us fail to realise "what the hell it is all about" in time, and they wither on the vine or worse.
Survives of the enlightenment battle we are.
I hope you will enjoy meeting more in our diverse (but fundementally core) family.
It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Number.
PS...I've just read more carefully some of your responses above - especially regarding your animal family members. Please do not think that your feelings and actions are unique....many here, and myself, know and feel the same intensity towards our animal companions. You are most certainly not alone in this.
