Hello, everyone. I am a 25 yo man from Finland (so please tolerate my miss spellings) and would very much like to be a part of this community, which I have been lurking about for a while now. I study youthwork and ngo at a university here in southern Finland and while studying for my orientation of special youthwork, I came to suspect, that I myself are on the spectrum. I have many of the "symptoms" of as, allthough I guess I have become quite good at keeping myself in check intuitively while groving up. When I was a kid, I had dyskinesia (?) like involuntary facial expression etc. These days I can keep them well hidden and only have tics (?) in private. I have a constant feeling of being on the outside and looking in, like I was separated from other peole by an invisible wall. I feel that I can only reach a handful of very close loved ones through this wall. I have a hard time understanding peoples facial gestures and have trouble with eye contackt in conversation. It seems that everyone else is singing a song they all know well, but no one told me how the rhytm goes.
Sincerely yours
Raakakaakao
