Introduction, newly diagnosed

Larissa

Hello, I've recently been diagnosed with autism. I'm not sure what to expect on here, but I thought I'd give it a go! I've always felt like something was different, and now I know what it is I'm glad, but I'm not really sure where to go from here. I have a lot of questions and I'd just like to talk to other people as I don't know anyone with autism and It'd be interesting to learn more and see if my struggles relate to anyone else as I have always felt like bit of an outsider.

  • Hi, welcome to the community! Being an outsider is my whole life experience,  often here too. I mean not that I'm treated bad in this community,  I like it and it's very important for me, but I often stay away from discussions because it's too much for Mr to process or I lack my own opinion or need more time to form one and by this time it's kinda too late or everything has been already said (written actually). I love this place and it's tge only place where I found like minded people and wish you that too. What's your hobby? I love aliens and space.

    Thank you. I read something "autistic brains often process a significantly higher volume of information, slowing down is a necessary strategy" I hope it helps because it helped me when I thought I wasn't doing enough and being tired after seemingly small things. But I don't think you need to worry about writing after everyone else, because we all have different opinions and your words might mean more to someone than they do to someone else. I'm glad you're having a good experience on here, I've only been on here a day and I already feel a lot better and I have a better understanding. I have a lot of hobbies, but my main ones are photography, watching films, reading and cooking. Thank you for taking the time to say something.
