| Hi sister. I say sister because I am exactly like you. Probably due to cultural reasons (I am Italian) I tend to socialize more. But I crave my alone time. And I used alcohol (especially red wine) to stand social gathering. Last week I was diagnosed with autism, level one. But what is interesting is... |

| Hi there. I introduced myself a couple of months ago. Yesterday I was diagnosed with level 1 autism. My RAADS result was 151. In February I’ll make other tests to evaluate a HIP, which she thinks very possible. I feel great! I had already stopped masking my autism and now I stopped completely. Littl... |

| I am self-diagnosed and will start the process next week. The most important appointment will be on February. Actually I’d be disappointed if not diagnosed. I have been spending the last two months reading just books on Autism and watching videos and all my life makes sense! More than scary to me it... |

| Hi all! I tried several times as it is supposed to calm your mind. Vipassana style. Honestly? I can’t stand it. I prefer to calm my mind running or cycling. What do you think? |

| Well done! The world needs people like you. After a few years of being vegetarian, I went on a WFPB diet last month and I don’t want to go back. I am feeling great. So much energy. Forks over knives is brilliant. And Dr Greger’s and Dr Barnard’s books, to name but a few. Check the website nutrition ... |

| Thanks! Although I don’t have a diagnosis yet, it’s such a relief to reassess my whole life watching it through the lens of AS. And yes! I want to make up too for lost time |

| As a kid I was super clumsy and ashamed of my body. The only things I liked were skating and riding a bike. Later it was better and even enjoyed some handball and athletics. Volleyball was my main nightmare in high school. Even today the words volleyball and beach volley make me sick in the stomach.... |

| All my life, I have never eaten highly processed food (thanks mom!). I have always hated fast food and overly greasy foods. Never been a fan of cakes, never drank sodas. I have been a vegetarian for several years, now I moved to a WFPB diet. I am happy not to harm animals (dairy and egg industries a... |

| Hi CeN, I am not diagnosed yet, but I am quite sure to be on the spectrum. I have no children, but I have always had the feeling you describe with my niece. And my advises were very valuable for my sister who doesn’t get her. I’ve always “felt” her and sometimes we say the same things! I thought it ... |

| Hi everyone, I am a 51 yo female from Italy, although I look 10 years younger. I read this is typical… A couple of weeks ago a young AS friend suggested that I could be on the spectrum too. I had considered this sometimes, but I always read the male characteristics and didn’t relate at all. Then I s... |

In November, being dumped by a boyfriend I realized, reading books, he was a covert narcissistic. Then I understood I was a magnet for narcissistic people, as you mention. And reading ... |
