Thx so much. All my life I felt strange and couldn't understand why I was different and now I no why and its the best feeling

You are very welcome. Many of us including myself can resonate with the feelings you state above, I hope this is comforting for you. Needless to say, you are perfectly autistic, not strange!

I understand what you mean about autistic identification being the best feeling, I feel the same way.  I am so glad for you, everyone deserves to know who they are!

Everything makes sense through a newly realised autistic lens. Welcome to your autistic tribe, in time hopefully you will learn more about what being autistic means for you.

I hope you enjoy the videos as much as I do! Look forward to chatting with you more.

I like the David Suchet Poirot adaptations. I also like the silly ones, like Rosemary and Thyme, and Death in Paradise :D I watch them with my mum sometimes.

I do know how much pressure there is to wear makeup.  I don't judge.  I just know that I prefer human faces without apparent makeup or "dressings"....I know that most other humans are different in how they perceive the world - and that's OK too.

F*ck bullies btw - I am sad for them.

I never use to be but then I was bullied and now they make me feel more beautiful.

I don't like lots of make-up thooo.

I've been alive for 50+ years.  I'm about the same age as Winona Ryder.

I'm not a fan of camera filters, fillers, surgery nor excessive make-up personally.....I like to see the real human appearance.

Thank u so much!  at times it was a emotional rollercoaster but I'm feeling happy about it now

What's ur fave murder mystery?

Thx so much. All my life I felt strange and couldn't understand why I was different and now I no why and its the best feeling

That’s great, I am pleased for you! Formal autistic identification is meant to be a positive experience and for you it certainly is.

As you obviously know autistic identification is life changing, so we are here for you when you are ready to learn more.

Good luck on your autistic discovery journey! This video might help you understand responses to autistic discovery:

Birthday's are k but there to much pressure for my liking. Everyone wants to talk to u on that day and I dontv like to talk or be in the spot light either

Exactly, I couldn’t agree more! I understand that some people really enjoy birthdays but it is just another day. Having said that one of the main things I like about my birthday is received books related to autistic experience.

Happy birthday! I'm glad you took it so well. (It can be quite intense emotionally.)

I like music documentaries, and murder mysteries :)

Welcome to the community!

My top three favourite characters are Robin, Steve, and Max. Do you have a favourite? And I don't think I can pick a favourite season, I love them all so much!

Hi sarah glad u self diagnosed and joined. Its a great feeling knowing u belong! What's ur fave movie? I like to escape the rush of lifein a Series and movie

Hi Pookie, I was diagnosed (unofficially) a few months ago, and I'm slowly adjusting  to the 'new' me and re-learning a few skills etc. I also wished I knew earlier then I might of handled or done things differently.  I prefer movies to TV series. I use them as a way to 'escape' the real world for an hour or two. 

It was the best present I've ever had

Reborn that's a lovely way of putting it and I do feel like that. Like a new me was created that day. 

If your younger than 16 then I'm older but if your older than that then your younger L.O.L I find age really confusing. Everyone seems the same age to me

the series does get really gripping and leaves you guessing and analysing the characters. I think that's sweet your reason for watching, nice she still looks good to. I thought she look good for herge to! I wish I look good for my age guess that's what camera filters r for

Hi Steven thx

Who's your fave character do u have a fave season? 

Hi abc thx so much! 

Birthday's are k but there to much pressure for my liking. Everyone wants to talk to u on that day and I dontv like to talk or be in the spot light either. I don't no know about Garfield but its what my mum calls me :p
