Hey everyone! I'm really excited to be on this forum. I think I will find belonging with a lot of special people. I've seen some veteran members already who are so inspiring and insightful.
I've been autistic my entire life (28 years), but have only really come to accept it for the past year (but really still a long way to go). It created it's own barriers in school and started an identity crisis in my early and mid twenties.
Outside of that I used to play a lot of lacrosse. Really fun and unique sport, but I'm really looking for a new hobby now. I started (and need to carry on) learning Danish to prepare for a possible emigration. I have my old grandads binoculars; bird watching would be incredible I think.
I joined this forum to help connect with other members who are going through relationship trouble. I've been with my fiance for a few years now, but most of the time have caused her pain and overshadowed most of our time together. I've never supported her how she needs it, lacked empathy, and failed to engage active listening. I hope to pick up some wisdom on relationships (and hopefully other topics) along the way.
I look forward to connecting with you all, and hopefully helping some people along the way whilst embarking on my journey.
