I hadn't thought to say hi here until now though I've been posting. Anyway, hi! I like cool etymologies/connections between word meanings so if you know any please share. (For example, "infant" comes from "not speaking" and "auspicious" from "bird-watcher" (from ancient divination technique).)

I also like hiking and my tiny dog.

People here were very helpful to me a while back when I was driving myself crazy thinking about possibly being on the spectrum, so thanks to you all. Since getting diagnosed I'm still driving myself crazy but I do feel like I have gained some useful tools.

Welcome to you too warbison. As far as I know, about what would you like to converse? I'd prefer you use my username rather than "ma'am," just so you know.

Well, swordrat, if it may be permissible to message you privately, I like to communicate that way.
