Hi I've just joined this forum. I was diagnosed with ASC at the very late age of 50. It all made sense! I'm not weird, I'm autistic! Although I like secretly like weird!

In 2019, a Louisiana poet - known as "Little Bit" wrote in support of "weird":
Weird
My inner world is weird
When I let go of
My inhibitions
My inner weird
becomes
Outer weird
And I get shy
Don’t be ashamed
Of your weird
Girl
Because your weird
Is what makes you
Your weird
Is your weird
And maybe
It’s not
That weird
After all
Maybe it’s not
That weird
After all
Hi there. Welcome to the forum and welcome to your tribe, as they say.
