Hello everyone!
My name's Jo, I'm 16 and I live in Lisbon (Portugal, in case you don't know where this fine city is 
)
I was very excited when I found this website. I don't know if I'm an autist but I do know I'm not an NT. I've never really felt right anywhere. Anyway, finding this website was great. Really makes you appreciate how there are so many different people out there that don't fit the norm and how it's perfectly ok to just be yourself! xxx

Hi Jo,
welcome to WP.
My mothers name is Jo
If you are interested, there is an online test that indicates if you could be on the spectrum [the autism spectrum]. However, no online test is 100% accurate and if you want to know for sure you will be better to seek a professional diagnosis.
Anyway...heres the link for the test: http://www.rdos.net/eng/Aspie-quiz.php
I hope you enjoy posting here.

hey everyone, thanks so much for all the replies! my name's Joana actually, but it's easier to say Jo.
Brittany, thanks for the test, I did it and turns out I'm not likely to be an aspie, however, I may have social phobia lol xxxx
