Hi!
Diagnosed in 2021, still finding my feet, and decided joining this community might be helpful :-)
I'm 24, female, full-time work and tired of all the masking, just got married in October, still figuring out things about being autistic, making sense of how that affected when I was younger and trying to let go. I think that's the hardest part as I grieve my childhood and the things I missed out on, don't have many friends, feeling lonely, but at the same time I don't like people.
It feels like being an alien on another planet and then trying to fit in.
But anyway, enough of that. Some things I like...
Things I don't like...
Nice to meet you all :)
Hello! A fellow 2021 diagnosee here, too, I was 37 when I got mine. I'm a big gamer as well, although I play indie games and Nintendo titles mainly.
Cheese is good! Love cheese.
Really like smoked cheese, brie and, goat cheese. Godminster and barbers are a good make.
I don't like crowds and some people. Especially when they don't know what to say.

Lovely to meet you!
Sounds like you have lots of fab hobbies :-) My favourite cheese has to be a strong cheddar, although I also really love blue cheese! What's your favourite?
That sounds perfect, I wish there was something similar near me, but it's often hard to find!
