Hi all new here

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 Mermaidsophiebarbie, thats quite a long name...welcome to the forums. From earlier memory I have always felt very different to a lot of people and never quite found a spot where I felt comfortable. I've gone through periods of loneliness but probably no so much as I've grown into an older dragon Slight smile. Still trying to find my way but lots of good stuff on the forum and I've read/watched quite a lot of material over the last month or so. 

    My mind is quite strong on images too and sometimes I do have the internal movie bit, this is one thing I do like about myself but not sure how different it is to the norm?
