I hope you will post political items from England. That would be a fresh perspective!  |

Don't know what more to say(type) because I hate having to do an "introduction" thread as my first one.
That was one of the best introductions! Open, honest, and something about you and your situation!
Congratulations and Welcome! |

| Hello I am so glad I found this site. Looking back on my life, Aspergers makes sense. I am starting to accept myself now because I know it's not my fault. I was born this way. Welcome!

| Hi! Welcome to WP! I'm new, too and when you say that you are low, I know what you mean. I recently read that we should build a toolbox that includes, among other things, includes lists of things we enjoy to think about and/or do. I have started this and it has helped. That's my 2 cents. Good luck i... |

Hi! I'm new, too!
I hope that you are able to find what you want. You will learn about generalities from your diagnosis. In the end we are all individuals with our own twist on things.  |

Thanks to all!
I just took the long version of the Aspi-quiz:
Your neurodiverse (Aspie) score: 163 of 200
Your neurotypical (non-autistic) score: 51 of 200
You are very likely neurodiverse (Aspie)
AQ - 35
BTW: What is the "Veteran" tag that is part of your signatures? |
