Hello!

My name is Chloe, I'm 32, and I've recently been diagnosed with autism for the first time.

I've always felt different, but only realised that this was autism over the last few years due to my own lack of knowledge on the subject.

Now I've been diagnosed, I'd really like to find like-minded, neurodivergent friends and find a community.

I live in the North West of England, and I work in marketing 100% from home.

My interests include gaming, reading, writing, music, crafts, collecting handbags, and astrology.

If you're a neurodivergent lady of a similar age and would like to connect and be friends, please reach out to me!

Looking forward to hearing from you :heart:

Welcome to Wrong Planet Chloe ... hope you find lots of threads and forums to look about and enjoy some reading
about others who might be late diagnosis too. Maybe allow you so insights about what to expect after your diagnosis.
Or possibly things you have already been dealing with all your life already . Am prolly not in your age group FYI .
Its a holiday weekend in the USA so peeps might be alittle slow to respond . ( as a large percent of contributors here maybe Yanks )

Welcome to Wrong Planet! I like reading, writing and crafts too.

What do you like to write about most? What is your go-to crafty project right now, are you working on something now? What are you reading or what kinds of books do you like to read these days?

I work full time but not at home, so my social energy gets gobbled up by work, but I'm thankful to have found my way back to Wrong Planet to connect with the community here. Even though I have spent many years where I did not post, something kept drawing me back!

Don't know much about astrology, but apparently I am a "Virgo with ascendant Gemini." Maybe you can help me understand what that means.

Never been formally diagnosed, but I am also seeking a community. Similar age.

I live in Northern California in the USA, but I've lived all over the place. I like reading about space, going sailing, writing, playing games and watching anime in Japanese.

I'm new here myself, both to the forum and the autism. I'm male, so not a part of the female friend group you were looking for, but I thought I'd say hello anyway. Hello. Okay, got that out of the way. Welcome. Feel free to talk at me anytime. :)
