Hi, I'm new here. I was diagnose with Aspergers (Autism) over 10 years ago which is weird to think about because it doesn't feel that long ago to me. It's depressing in a way because I don't feel I've achieved much since being diagnosed and I don't really understand Autism that well, though it's something I'm trying to gain better knowledge of.

I'm hoping being here with others who understands what it's like will help me.

Hello Celinara!

I’ve also got ASD, anxiety, and depression. Feeling like you don’t really understand Autism even after being diagnosed as a teen? I think you’re in the right place. Here you can get a pretty broad view of others’ experiences which can shed light on your own. I’ve learned quite a lot about myself just by reading other people’s posts, for example I once laughed uncontrollably while being bullied one time, and apparently I’m not the only one with ASD that has done that.

Yeah again, I think you’re in the right place.

Hi and welcome to the community. I'm a woman in my sixties and I enjoy reading and playing video games, including Sims 4. I see from your profile that you like Sims - I started a thread about it if you'd like to contribute: RE: Sims 4 discussion thread

I also do a weekly film thread, where I post about what movie I watched that week.

Hi and welcome to the community!

This article might be a helpful place to start in respect of learning more - whilst it's a fairly top-level overview, it does also include links to other NAS resources that explore various aspects of autism more deeply:
