Hi there. I wanted to introduce myself as I’m new here.
recently turned 35 years old (M). Been diagnosed autistic since a young age. Not much information was given to me because of family issues.
The past couple of years I have been slowly learning about myself, what overstimulates me, stims that help me process information, calm me. Also what triggers meltdowns etc since for a long time I’ve been a high masking individual, partly due to traumas.
towards the end of last year I’ve started my journey of slowly trying to unmask and understand myself more. So far it’s going really well! I’m lucky that my partner is so understanding and supportive also.
apologies if this is a bit all over the place xD
nice to meet you you all!
