Hi

Hey folks,

I hope I'm not going to sound too rambly in this introduction, my imposter syndrome is trying really hard to tell me I shouldn't even be here.

Anyway, I'm 47, I live near Edinburgh and although I haven't been formerly diagnosed as autistic, the more I read about it and the more self-assessment tests I do, the more I'm convinced I must be, at least in the "high functioning" category, whatever that's supposed to mean. But all this obsessive research is a bit lonely so I was hoping that joining a community on the topic would help answer some of my questions. I won't go into those here as I have a tendency to want to keep things organised but I just wanted to say hi.

  • I was debating whether or not to use a pseudonym for this forum and couldn't decide on anything suitable. I could have stuck to the default username but all I could see in the "NAS" was "Not Autistic, Sorry" so I stuck with my first name. It's a thorn in my side and has been all my years living here but I have no other...

    Anyway, sorry, thanks
