  • I think you've already taken the most important step; accepting your autism.  As you explore, you will find you begin to understand why your world is different from those around you and start to experiment with different ways to negotiate that in a way that works better for you.

    I hope you meet with open minded folk around you who want to likewise learn and understand.  That can make all the difference.

    Meanwhile, I'll echo Bones.  Be gentle with yourself...and we are here.  Pump out your questions on whatever topics you like and we will answer.  We are all different, but you can bet a fair few of us will have been experiencing whatever you have been and will have a perspective that might help.  At the very least you'll know you are far from alone.
