Newly diagnosed and looking to make neurodivergent friends

Hello! My name's Chloe, and I've recently been diagnosed with autism at the age of 32. I'm a high masking autistic female.

I've always felt different, but it's only over the last few years that I've learned more about autism in women, specifically high-masking women, and discovered that I was autistic myself. 

I've always struggled to make and maintain friendships, due to working from home and not having the opportunity to meet people, but also due to feeling very different to neurotypicals and unable to relate to them. I don't have anyone else around me who is neurodivergent. 

I'd really like to make like-minded friends and find a community. 

I live in the North West of England with my husband and our cat and I work in marketing.

My interests include gaming, reading, writing, music, crafts, collecting handbags and astrology. I'm also currently learning to speak Mandarin Chinese! 

I hope to hear from you soon! Slight smile
