Hello

That's great to hear you're so positive about being autistic. I struggle with it for myself. But I'm hoping I'm getting there.

I like romance best. I'm interested in ancient Egyptian and Chinese writing.

Thanks, I chose my username because I love being autistic! What is your favourite movie/book genre? What kind of writing are you interested in?

Hello. I love your username, it's very clever. Thank you! I love my pic out represents me and what my brain is like. 

I like Doctor Who, writing, music, movies and reading. 

Thank you x.

I'm so sorry you had a bad accident. That must have been horrible, I would have been shaken up as well. I'm glad you were ok. 

Oh i'm so sorry about your mother, that must be an incredibly difficult thing to go through. I was in quite a bad accident when i was young on a moped but fortunately i was ok, although very shaken up. It could have been so much worse looking back 

Hello.  Welcome to your autistic community! I like your profile picture.

What are your dedicated interests?

Good to hear you're feeling better about yourself. This is something I've struggled with since 2016, when my mum died in a traffic accident. Since then I have no idea self esteem or drive.

I'm sure it will. Connecting / learning from other autistic people is extremely important in my experience. The sense of belonging is equally important 

Yes, agree

I was diagnosed early, lucky for me

I'm pleased to hear that

I've only just really started to understand myself better and really "know" who I am. I'm self discovering.

It's been the same for me since December, lots of ups and downs but i'm finally making sense of my life and understanding what my strengths and weaknesses are. My self esteem is much better too as i was beating myself up for 35 years 

I thought joining might help with that.

Hi.  

Thank you.

Hello and welcome  

Glad to hear it's been so good for you. Hope you continue to reap the benefits of being online.

I was diagnosed early, lucky for me, but I've only just really started to understand myself better and really "know" who I am. I'm self discovering. I thought joining might help with that.

How are you finding it?

It's been invaluable to me. I connect with so many people on here and share so many of their experiences. 

It can be brutal being autistic in this world and not knowing you are so i'm relieved that i realized i'm autistic and that this online community exists. 

I don't do social media or anything either, i've no need now i've found this place as everyone's been really friendly and supportive 

How are you finding it? I don't normally do online things so it's a change but I'm hoping it will work out.

Nice to have you with us. I hope you find this place beneficial, i certainly have since December 

Thank you.

Yes I signed up this morning.
