hHi I have decided to join here to meet similar people. My name is Orangegnome and I am not officially diagnosed autistic but I am on that journey. I am a 50 year old woman, just here to enjoy chatting without pressure

Hello and a little late welcome from me
You'll definitely fit in well here - and you sound a little like me - stimming even when in well known company, being highly sensitive and hyper focusing on specialist interests - I was mis-diagnosed in February (long story), but after an emerency doctors appointment and a couple of meetings with the head psychologist at the same place, I got my ASD diagnosis in May this year (day before my best friend's birthday). I'll be turning 39 in less than a week - but I prefer speaking to people either older or younger than I am.
Hope you enjoy your time here

Oh thank you for your welcome. Yeah I sound fairly similar to you! I have been having a read through some of the conversations, I already feel at home
