I'm new here, obviously.
I'm trying to be anonymous on here because I'm not diagnosed yet and I'm afraid of how loved ones (and prospective employers) will react if they knew that I thought I was autistic. Anyway, I started looking into autism a few months ago and fell down a rabbit hole of OMG that's me. I'm really great at acting normal but it's emotionally exhausting and I tend to avoid social interaction because of it. I'm 25, female, married, and also chronically ill. I'm here to find people like me, people to talk too about things, and some guidance on how to find a doctor or whatever that will listen so I can get diagnosed (I'm on medicare so I think that may make it more complicated). So, yeah. here I am. I hope that I'll be able to learn from the people on here. Yep. I'm bad at these intro things.
