Hello, I'm Katdog
I'm 31, female and I've just been diagnosed with autism.
For me the diagnosis is a relief, because it explains a lot and now my whole life makes sense.
I've always felt different and I've never fit in anywhere. I always say it's like I'm a cat and everyone else is a dog. But no one knows I'm a cat, so I'm expected to act like a dog, and do dog things, but those things never felt right to me and it's not natural, because I'm a cat (Hence the nickname 'Katdog' ... my real name starts with a K).
So it's a relief to know that I'm not a weirdo or an alien or stupid or acting up or exaggerating... I'm autistic. I feel a lot more accepting of myself now.
Can anyone else relate to this?
Also, is this website always really slow at loading/switching pages or is that just my android devices?
i agree with everything u just said. i use latops on the internet and this site appears to be ok for me. Everyone else is neurotypical, you are special and unique. I love the catchphrase "need new ideas...ask an Aspie"
Thank you. I guess the website isn't phone/tablet friendly. I'll bear with it lol.
