Hello I am Jo.
This place is incredible.
I have been down a rabbit hole for a few years that took me to a conference Saturday night and now there I hear about wrong planet, how awesome is that! Our Autistic community is incredible and I love finding these hidden but visible goldmines of insight and support.
I am happy to have the opportunity to have a new space to say hello and meet other Autistic people, so hello :)

Hello. I did not know I have autism traits apart from one until I came onto this site and I came onto this site due to a lifelong search to find out what was happening to me which it turns out that they are shutdowns. Welcome to Wrong Planet.

I like that your name includes a title. Welcome aboard.

Hi from another female.

My late grandfather was born in France. I've never been there, but I studied French in school. I still remember some of it. You do English a lot better than I ever did French.

Hi and welcome! Can you let me know what kind of conference that was? Is it autism-related conference or something else? Maybe I can attend it too when it will happen again.

Thanks everyone for saying hi. I didn't bring donuts, but my enthusiasm is here and you have all been nice, :) sending love from France
The conference was marketed to women in the work place but LinkedIn is a cool place to find conferences and advocates working in positive way to help the progressive understanding of Autism. :heart:
