Hello my fellow people

Hi Everyone, 

  I've only known I'm autistic for 9 months and I'm still trying to figure out who I am. It's been a lot to take in and has taken me months to fully accept that I am me, the me I was destined to be. 

 Hopeful I'm going to find my kindred spirits here, and you can teach me more about how special we all are.

I'm a creative soul who loves to write poetry and I'm working on a book of my life journey. I have a little dog, a  pug/shih tzu cross, she is my best friend and my savior. I also love music, and have an eclectic taste. I've also recently started to learn to play the keyboard, not very good yet though.

 Looking forward to speaking with people who are like me.

Love and light from a fellow Aspie

    Welcome to the forum,

    I'm glad to hear that you're making peace with your diagnosis. Most of who are late diagnosed seem to go through a similar period of confusion and anxiety at first, it seems. Having other autistic people to speak with has helped me enormously with that; even now, about five years after I was diagnosed, I find myself having "aha!" moments when reading other people's posts.

    Like you, I've always had that urge to be creative, whether with words, music, drawing, or even writing computer code (and not forgetting Lego, of course!) It's such a wonderful sanctuary from the stresses and strains of the outside world, I always find.

    Best wishes to you and your furry friend.
