  • Hey welcome! Yeah at the start I went through a big research phase, trying to find out more and wanting to make sure I wasn't making it up, but the more I found out, the more my experiences were reflected back at me from what other people had said. It's amazingly validating to discover that you aren't alone with all the quirky traits, but other people are talking about those same things too.

    Steps forward depend on where you are from. I think England has some sort of right to choose pathways through the GP, and someone with more knowledge can probably relate more to what they did. But there are folk from all over the UK and the wider world, so you can ask for what is relevant to you!


    Good luck!

    Hi Cinnabar_wing,

     It sure had been amazing how much I did not know. But the validation that I am not alone in how I write, think, talk, act or dont act. All these and more are not something I alone do, see or feel. The relief and release I am feeling is the most amazing thing ever.. I now know and Feel I dont have to hide when out and about. Infact I never relized how much i watched myself and others around me and masked myself in to blend in. I never relized the energy I was waisting. I literally thought it was normal.

     Btw thank you for pointing out where I reside is not mentioned by me.. So let me correct that.. I reside in the state of Wisconsin in the USA.

     I did notice that this organization is based in the UK. I also noticed how inviting this place is to all from all walks of life. This is also the best resource I have been able to find, understand and relate to.  However I am open to similar resources nearer to me..

     Thank you for the warm welcome.
