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!

  • Hi there, 

    It is only just under 4 months since I first came on here myself. I think it was the day that I had my assessment and diagnosis. I’d wanted to join/post before then but personally I needed to have the validation of an ASD diagnosis before I posted anything. My first post was regarding my own diagnosis and I was very pleasantly surprised by the number of people who replied with their own similar experiences. 

    Personally I find the people on this forum to be very understanding, supportive and non-judgemental. Talking with others on here has helped keep me sane when I’ve been having a wobble post-diagnosis. There’s always someone who I can identify with due to a shared experience. Everyone helps each other on here. I hope you enjoy talking with others on here as much as I do.
