Hello.

Hello, I’m new here.

I was diagnosed with autism in February, on the 4th this year after spending the first part of my life living in confusion and always feeling out of place with everybody else, the black sheep, trying to hide amongst all the white sheep.

Having the diagnosis has brought me comfort and self understanding, though, I do still feel a lot of confusion but am starting on a new journey of self discovery which I’m hoping I can share with everyone here if it works out how I’m hoping it will.

I’m in two minds about joining an online community but I’m hoping it will be OK.

I like the National Autistic Society, they have helped me a lot in the last 16 months so I’m hopeful that being a part of the community will be a good experience as well.

Look forward to meeting you all.
