Hi,
My name is Mitch, I'm 23 and I've was diagnosed with ASD when I was 7 years old.
For most of that time I've tried not to let my diagnosis bother me - so much in fact, that I'm no longer sure I really know what it means 
. To be honest throughout my life I've seen plenty of other people more socially awkward than me who had no diagnosis whatsoever 
.
I've joined this forum in the hopes of understanding more about ASD and how it affects me and other people.
I'm keen to meet new people and make friends. 
Edit: Just noticed lots of other topics with similar names. Good to know I fit right in.

Nice to meet you both. Here's hoping that we can be friends.
Is it safe to assume that you both have ASD?

Yes
I don't know if I have ASD. Sometimes I think I do, other times I don't. I've never been formally diagnosed.

Atypical autism or known as PDD-NOS, so yes, I have ASD.
