Hello, I am new here!
I am Alexandrine, 33yo, living in Oxford. Occupations are Electrical design engineer in the research for nuclear fusion energy and local politician.
I have been diagnosed last year. My special interests are activism to set the world right, video games, and medical stuff.
Still a bit struggling with acceptance, kinda sad to not be able to fit it as I am very aware of my difficulty and it has a toll on my mental health. Working from home has been a blessing but social events on Zoom are a harsh reminder of reality. But that's life I guess.
Anyway, happy to be in touch with whoever want to !
Hi and welcome. I find acceptance is a strange thing. I mentioned it in a different post where I said it comes in highs and lows. Some days you feel like it all makes sense and the next it feels like a prison. Finding people who are on a similar journey helps. Glad to have you here.
When I am alone or with my partner I feel perfectly OK, myself and "normal". But when I am out in the wild and have social contacts, I am reminded of who I am and it makes me sad.
