This community is helping me so much

How do I write this without it sounding like that corny commercial? Hmmmm.....

I've never had close friends outside 1 in middle school & my mom. Everyone I've interacted w/here has been so kind, accepting, helpful...more than anyone I've spoken with before.

OK, there I said it. I'm REALLY grateful I found this chat. Feels comfortable to admit vulnerabilities/struggles when I see you all talking about yours. I feel supported here.

Ok---*me going back to my tomboy, tough demeanor*

  • It's comfortable being amongst our own.

    Not having to pretend we're something else.

    Not having to tiptoe around the unpredictable, explosive emotional sensibilities of non-autistics.

    No stopping to think and trying to translate our direct thoughts in to Neurotypical-ese 

    No judgement., just natural acceptance :)
