Hi all, I’m Sophie, I have recently been diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder after years and years of feeling incredibly different and really quite lonely, I have struggled for years so I’m trying to navigate through things etc! Any advice or anything would be great!
do you ever feel really different ? Like you see the world in a different way? I feel my mind plays pictures or objects as if in a move scene !
thanks all
Hi and welcome to the community. I'm a woman in my sixties and I've always felt somehow "different" but it feels to me that I'm the human and non autistic people are the aliens 
I see patterns and details that others miss, and can notice small sounds that others don't - I hate ticking clocks or watches, I can hear the quietest ticking!
"Seeing in pictures" is something that autistic people tend to do - we're usually visual learners too.
I hope you find this forum useful and enjoy chatting with us.
