Being part of the autistic community

It's far more stress inducing and hard to cope with than being part of the severe mental illness and the high IQ communities.

  • I think comunity is an oversued word to honest, surely to be a comunity you have to have more in common than a diagnosis? I don't feel part of a "comunity" here either, here is a place I come for a bit of chat and conversation on a fairly superficial level, rarely I have to engage my brain more seriously, although I enjoy it when I do. Theres lots of stuff I don't talk about here, I've tried but have got next to no engagement, be it mediaeval history or Strictly Come Dancing.
