Hi! First time on a forum since that time on mirc... I'm an undiagnosed neurodivergent and I'm tired of feeling alone with this wrong planet syndrome... I want to find my tribe, and I want us to help each other understand, improve and deal with things.

Welcome to WrongPlanet.

I have no "tribe." My tribe is myself. The best thing to do is not count on other people in a substantive way, though realizing that most people are essentially decent.

I was in the Azores in 2018 and 2019. Lisbon in 2019. Nice city, Lisbon.

Thank you.

Actually, that's how I've been living, but I'm going through a deep personality crisis (aka Personality Development Through Positive Disintegration) and unfortunately it's not working for me anymore. I know there're others like me so... shout out to everyone who is an introverted HSP adult, with CPTSD, ADHD and autistic traits.

Glad you liked Portugal, I'm being bias but it's a beautiful country with a lot of hidden gems...

Well, I'm not exactly what you are looking for. I am an Introvert (MBTI INTJ) but my neurodiversity has been diagnosed as Autism Spectrum Disorder, Level 1 (Mild).

My bride, however, is ADHD. And it is a heck of a show!

Hello Double Retired, I'm an INFP. I'm just looking for a safe place... my partner has OCD, and it's not easy at times... what ADHD behaviour do you struggle more with?

We are both retired. She is very busy. Very busy. She is out and about a lot. Overall that means I often have the house to myself...which is mostly good. I am a clear INTJ Aspie who is a natural recluse.

However, as an Aspie, I think in terms of "A place for everything and everything it its place" (alternatively, "A time for everything and everything at its time"). Um...

I've got that struggle with myself I understand... the inevitable chaos that brings instability vs the controlled peace of order
