Hello
Let's be direct, I'm not autistic strictly speaking, but I've been diagnosed with disabling synesthesia, sensory processing problems, dyspraxia and attention deficit. In addition, I have trouble identifying faces, and I'm more than just a bit socially awkward, so you can see why I'm here :wink: I hope to find people I can relate to, because I've always felt a bit lonely... Lost and trying to find with my own Gallifrey but I've not found it (not yet at least).
Other than that, I like travelling, animals, science, computers, science-fiction, and I'm addicted to Internet forums, to video games and to pizza :ninja:
I don't know what else to add...

Welcome aboard. Good taste, too - I remember "Flowers for Algeron", though it's been a decade since I first read it. Who are some of your favorite sci-fi authors?

I'm short, not-so-hairy, somewhat heavy, middle-aged, and I wish I could find granny-glasses which fit my face.

Welcome!

I got them after becoming a Granny last year. I was quite tickled by the whole concept.

I won't be very original here, Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov. I think that both stand out when it comes to inducing powerful emotions to the reader. There is a sensitivity in their books that's hard to find in other science-fiction books in general.
