Hi everyone,
I've spent large part of my life feeling...odd. By my 30s I accepted that whatever I was, it was my fate to be somewhat isolated and kind of looking through the peephole.
I do love solitude, silence, and a black and white environment (I mean it as a metaphor for peaceful.) but never understood why, and why group-behaviour or norms felt unnatural to me.
A few people in my life-journey have suggested that maybe I was bipolar, or bohemian, or autistic.
Being pretty focused on my own things, I simply disregarded those theories.
Now a psychologist said this maybe the case, that I am autistic according to her analysis.
Tests are slow to arrive to, so I'm waiting.
Anyhow, I recently read that autistic people tend to find communication with other autistic peers easier.
This made me curious as to some chat-platforms where users are either diagnosed, or suspicious of being autistic.
However, I'm unsure whether there are any interesting, and safe spaces for chatting, not only threads in a forum like here, but more like instant messaging (like Discord or other IRCs, or Matrix etc.)
Any ideas? Any platform that you used? Or did you give up?
