Hey I'm 27, awaiting my diagnosis autism been told by my support worker to start accepting I am autistic and to start branching out when I felt comfortable. 

Struggle a lot with social cues especially in non-professional settings, I work in mental health though and thrive when someone comes through the doors querying autism. I have some pretty intense swimming moments in uni sometimes  head hitting and skin picking to the point I have had to put false nails on, it really helps If anyone has a similar issue with skin and scalp picking.

Other than that just wanted to say hey and see who else was around I could speak to and if there were any meet ups kind of thing. Been really struggling with my situation previously being diagnosed with depression and bpd but neither made sense, to then constantly questioning if I was even autistic... but then I remember being made to sit in the corner cleaning whiteboards at school because they didn't know what to do with me.
