Hello from Orangegnome

Thank you for replying! I have had a lightbulb moment as read so much recently and always score very high on free autism quizzes. I do alot of stimming, even in company of people I trust, and I have always thought that was just me. Some friends have said I can’t be autistic because I am a nurse and have a lot of empathy, and have been labelled as a highly sensitive person. Having read more studies it seems the empathy and high sensitivity are signs of autism in women. And I totally hyper focus on things, my special interests take over all the time! 

Sounds like you'll fit right in here. Welcome to the party!

Oh thank you. This is going to be my kind of party.
