Quick introduction...
I'm 21 years old, male, live in london. Not a diagnosed Apsie but definately somewhere on the spectrum (meaningless I know
), had a very difficult birth, and I relate to the social problems that Apies experience.
One of my problems I think is that I've always been expected to meet the standards of a normal mentally healthy male, or even more. The majority of people around me do not sense that I may be in any way neurologically different and I often feel misjudged or preemptively disliked by people who make no effort to understand and are not open to difference. I do make alot of effort to understand what might be considered normal social behaviour and I am learning, slowly...
I hope that I will meet people here who I can relate to. This seems like a great site and major kudos to the people responsible!
