So I'm on the spectrum, it seems, and this might explain why I've struggled to make and keep friends all my life. In 55 and happily married but my NT wife, love her to bits, finds me hard going and it's good to talk to others who have similar brains. She calls me her "weirdo" sometimes and she's not wrong, I guess ND is a kind of weirdness and I don't mind the label. I guess I get intense at times, and I'm aloof at other times. I can be grumpy but mostly I'm very optimistic.
I like books, art, films, writing and reading. I have no time for bigots or people who use the phrase "common sense '. I hope to get my novel finished this year. Lefty, parent of two teens, LGBT ally. Would love to chat if you're similarly weird.
So is it OK to share social media profiles on here? I find the forum format here hard to keep up with and I'm happy to have more friends to talk to on Discord, Mastodon, Insta, X (ugh) or Threads.
If the social media profiles are shared on the forums, it will be removed by the moderators. It falls under Rule 2 (see link, which should open in a new window):

Ah OK thanks. Good job I checked!
