Hi, hoping to speak to people who are on the same wavelength as me, something that seems quite difficult in real life

SJH1994

I can't really think of much more to say aside from what I have already written in the subject/title box. I'm 32, never officially diagnosed but very obviously on the spectrum, and have experienced all the things that come with it my whole life.

I have struggled for a long time to meet people with similar thought processes to myself, so thought I would reach out here, as it seems next to impossible in the real world, as an adult I mainly get by, by masking but can only do that for so long

  • Hi, me too.

    When I was a teenager I told a friend that my dream was to one day find people I felt similar to, and we would discuss deep topics of science and math, and also try to help to reduce suffering and inequality.

    I know there are people like that out there, I've participated in some of these places, but never feeling myself.

    For example, I don't like managers, or leaders or in general "Illegitimate Authority" (Chomsky's book title); I appreciate that some do it selflessly, but I think sooner or later some voices are lost, and some stand out.

    Then I start losing interest, and later on leave.

    But I do like it here, for example, and may be the place I felt the best so far. I am somewhat scared/concerned about moderation though.

    Hi

    I know how that feels, even in the few online spaces I have participated in I have found it quite hard to feel a sense of belonging, I have found general online spaces like Reddit to be highly toxic places to be avoided at all costs.

    I'm hoping this will be the first place where I can feel I'm amongst my own, at least to some degree, I guess with time I will find out
