Hello everyone, I want to introduce myself.

I'll start by saying that I'm neurotypical, but very interested in ASD and neurodivergency in general. I'm currently studying psychology and doing my internship at the Spanish Autism Federation.

I know this site is mainly for autistic people, but I was hoping to learn more about your day-to-day experiencies.

octopus6032, Welcome to Wrong Planet.

You wrote that you are a 21 year old student studying at the Spanish Autism Federation and you are interested in discussing day to day experiences of those with ASD.

ASD is a very large category that has many variants. I have Asperger's Syndrome which is a variant of ASD. I have found my Aspie traits to be beneficial. It allowed me to obtain a degree in Nuclear Physics and work my life as an Engineer.

If you look deeper, you may find that some of the best artist, musicians, poets, writers, and even scientist have Aspie traits.

Welcome to the site.

Welcome to our planet! I'm sure you will find a good deal of interesting topics on here, and will find all types of people who differ widely in their interests and functionality, for we are a broad spectrum of humanity.

Indeed it would be boring if it were otherwise!

Welcome to WP! I hope you find it educational.

And you do not have to be Autistic or Neurodivergent to be here, just interested in the topics (and polite).
