and if you get into that side of tumblr you'll know what I mean.

Been a while since I've bothered to log in to Tumblr.
Last summer sometime, I think.
Am not much motivated to return.

But I prefer it to more modern social media because I'm not sure why.

As for me, I am sure why I prefer here, it is far less, exponentially less, cluttered, hyperactive, and chaotic, than the current common social media types.

I think i just searched for autism forum, and found all you lovely people here. I like forum formats, i guess being a bit older it's more what I'm used to. I don't really get into all the twitter and such.

Lol auntblabby, i saw "prego" and my brain immediately was like "pregnant? No that can't be correct!" Lol!

I’m 29, figured I’d say exactly since I’m right at the edge of the age group (didn’t put it in the poll).

Really though, I want to know who's over 90 too.

Having been involved in young-person communities consisting largely of autistic people on virtually every popular social media app at some point in my life, I gotta say, it’s comforting being around older autistic people here. I’m 21, and I find my autistic peers (especially ones who were diagnosed late like me) highly relatable — almost painfully so. We’re all more or less in the same boat of, how the #%$* are we gonna survive past this point?

So to find people who have survived past not only this point but many others is very reassuring. And also y’all tend to be more confident in your autistic ways than people who’ve been masking their whole lives and just found out they’re not who they thought they are. It’s just easier to talk to people who are old enough to not give a #%$*, LOL!

40 here

Interestingly, I've been getting better as I age when it comes to functioning and Autism (along with mental illness stuff). I can speculate on why that is (a lot of potential reasons there), but I don't fully know, and neither will the professionals with these things. I started off moderately Autistic from the beginning and I'm now a carer for someone far more disabled than I am (I still am disabled).

I agree with getting better over time. I've picked up coping skills as I go along and, through trial and error, gotten better at lubricating my social awkwardness with humor.

I didn't know that what I was coping with was Autism. I had no clue about that until I was 64. I just knew life seemed strangely, subtly more difficult for me in ways that didn't seem to apply to others. It seemed unfair. Over the decades I did well enough in life that I became more confident the problem wasn't me, it was the World. (Now that I know I'm an Aspie I feel even more strongly that the World is at fault, not me.)
