I notice you all have user names but I have a NAS number?
Will I also be allowed to chose a name to use on here?
I am not used to using forums.
I am a single man, no family or relatives as they all didn’t like me very much.
I struggle with social chit chat.
I was recently diagnosed after my gp suggested my depression and anxiety may be because I was autistic.
apparently he was right.
I am not sure what I expect to learn by being here but my gp said he had heard it helps talking with others who are also like myself.
sorry if I am not being friendly or talkative enough, I don’t know what to talk about?
but thank you all I will read some of the postings to see if they mean anything to me.
Hello and welcome! I have also recently come onto the forum having been diagnosed with Level 2 ASD. Please do feel free to ask any questions and read my profile. I'm sure that everyone on here will give their best advice.
Tell us a little bit about yourself - what brings you here?
Welcome. I’m nearly an OAP myself.
Thank you for the quick welcome. Plastic.
I am in my late fifties.
Hi - Welcome to the forum - we're not all spring chickens here - I'm in my 50s
