Any advice?

Hi to all you lovely people

I've recently been diagnosed as being ASC.  To be honest, it's been a relief.  For my whole life, I've been blaming myself for not being popular, or socially skilled.  I now realise that I was always going to struggle with this, so my diagnosis has allowed me to offer myself some compassion.  I was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience or could offer advice for someone looking to connect with their neurokind?

Hope to hear from you.
