Hello

Finally got around to seeing this place. I've been a bit hesitant about it since I usually don't like this kind of community. It always feels like talking to people where AS is the only thing we have in common leads to really uncomfortable conversations dripping with an idea of superiority on the part of the other person. Maybe I've talked that part up in my head. Kind of feel like finding more people to talk to would help me manage a lot of the time.

I'm a 21 year old student and was diagnosed at 14. It's been fairly rough to get by, especially since I haven't really had any professional help since middle school. I think about a lot of things all the time and thankfully managed to teach myself a lot of skills that make things easier.

I'm managing to live independently, which was very difficult at first, but now it feels fairly normal. That said, I'm one of the ones who wound up with compounded AS/Depression and all that and it's a real pain to get through days where my first thought is "I wish I hadn't woken up" but bad days come and go.

Just wanted to say hello and all.

hiya P welcome to the club whatcha studying?

Sociology. I was so clueless that I wanted to learn everything about people and why they make decisions and how they interact.

I was the same way when I was your age.

Hello thee!

Greetings, and welcome!
