I don't know how likely you are to make a friend here that you physically see in real life, but overall it is a very nice crowd.
I'm glad I'm here. |

| How important a formal diagnosis is depends on you. ● If you need medical care because of it then you need a formal diagnosis. ● Otherwise, if a formal diagnosis might interfere with your career you might want to wait 'til later. ● Otherwise, it is really up to you. I did not need anything special b... |

Last night we watched:
Independence Day [1996]
<=>"We've always believed we weren't alone. On July 4th, we'll wish we were."
A really, really good science fiction movie! Recommended! |

Before my 65 th birthday I had read up about Autism, concluded I probably was Autistic, and gotten a formal diagnosis which said I w... |

They have to assess you against the DSM criteria. It is kind of fun. And I got a written report comparing me to the DSM criteria.
(And Aspies can be funny!) |

Welcome to WP! I hope you like it here.
Suggestions? Well...um...I understand retirement homes often have...well...lots of STDs. Apparently it is frequent to get lucky and unlucky at the same time. |

Last night we watched:
