Hi Everyone,
I am very happy that you allow me to take part in your community. I had the pleasure to share a irc chat with some of you last night, and I felt very comfortable, so I decided to join the forums. What I'm seeking is some company of course, and the possibility to share those things that no one around me seem to understand. I wish I find support for my mental issues, and I wish I can give support as well, whenever it's possible.
I'm very surprised to see the whole diversity in this place, people of very different ages and countries of origin, and people into the autistic spectrum or not. That's fantastic.
About myself: I don't have an AS diagnosis, I don't really need it as a matter of fact. I've struggled my whole life with social situations, and wondering why apparently easy things were so complicated to me. It's been fantastic to know some other people with the same problems I always had and no one understood before. So that's why I'm here. I have no sensory disorders so maybe I wouldn't get an AS diagnose, but it's not that important. What was important to me is to define myself as a person with autistic features (at least), so that I understand my nature and limitations therefore "respect myself" more (example: take a break after some days of too much social interaction, you know you need it, otherwise you will have a meltdown).
I hope to meet a lot of interesting alike people. Thank you for your hospitality.
