Do I belong here?

Well, it has been quite a summer. After lots of research and many read books, I've identified hugely with Aspie traits and braved joining here to see if I can find my space in this small world. I have encountered a lot of remarkable people and been touched by the kindness and brilliance of many.  Identified with all, though some much more than others.

I return to the rat run of work at the end of this week. "Do I stay or do I go" -  to quote the Clash or scamper off and be the Elephant in the Room in the big world out there, do I belong in this forum, do I matter, or am I just an imposter.

no, I am not diagnosed, no, I don't think that I grabbed a diagnostic label and ran with it....I need to connect somewhere, with someone, with something or do I  conuntue my own lonely path. I strongly feel that I connect with this even though it can be a bitter sweet pill.

honest appraisals please...

big love to all of you and thank you for your time.

  • Of course you belong here, I could cry at the thought of you disappearing, we understand that you will have to be busy elsewhere soon, but please don't disappear completely. I'm on my phone so this is a rubbish reply, I have another quote to throw at you when I have access to it... 

    This was not a summer fling, we need you! x

  • Lol - this is not a summer fling Spotty, my dear....

    the whole month now has been such an experience of self recognition but as you know it can be emotionally draining as well.

    i identify a lot with you Spotty.. the lost self buried in its shell, waiting for validation to come out and explore without fear. You are a wonderful woman and are much loved here  -don't forget that!

    Speak soon lovely x

  • "You are a wonderful woman and much loved here" must be an aspie trait as that quote could honestly truly be said about several women on here, You included ele.
