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

Welcome! I’m a 90s kid as well.

You’ve probably heard this before, but being self-diagnosed is totally acceptable around here. Especially since it can be so difficult to get a diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any questions or such. I’m open to talk!

Thanks, and nice to meet another 90s kid!

I was a little nervous as to whether the fact I haven't ever been officially diagnosed might have been frowned upon a little, so I'm glad to hear this, I know it isn't easy to get a diagnosis and its quite a prolonged process.

Thats great, I'm sure I will speak to you again here!

If you know, you know. You've probably done your research and related to other Autistic people's stories, and thought, "OMG! That's me!" I mean, who would know better?

There is some stat I read somewhere that over 90% of people who self-diagnose who go on to have a formal diagnosis have their self-diagnosis confirmed. There are reasons to get a formal diagnosis, but there are also reasons not to. It's down to you.

Thank you, will check that out

Thank you, will check that out
