Hi all!

You all seem to be like minded people so I must be in the right place, I do hope so? 

Can I ask you all or anyone, when first coming to this platform did any of you have the same difficulty as me with regards to in introducing themselves?

I have took all day to get to this point and send this one message to you, which I have wrote five times now because of fear for saying something wrong, or going into to much detail or not enough detail and once again being misunderstood or judged wrongly by others? I do hope that this time things are different? 

I personally don't believe in any labeling of human beings as this only serves to divide the human race further apart from one another which will never be good in the long run for any species.

Also ironically from what little I know of this diagnosis other than experiencing it my whole life, with 70%of my time in a given week interacting with others resulting in a misunderstanding wrongful judgment followed by character assassination followed by isolation and segregation from the group, does any one here relate to this? 

I look forward to connecting and being part of this community!

  • Welcome. Just be yourself. I add more things about myself when I feel ready to. As to the autism label, it seems to help professionals to understand what’s maybe going on..... in other words my label is to help them, not me! After all, doctors etc have so many patients that they cannot possibly know each individually, whereas we have a lifetime of knowing ourselves! Your label here is evolutionary-balance, which I personally like. If you decide to change it you can. I like it anyway.
