Friendship Board -- Asperger's Plus

Post Reply New Topic

Hi everyone!

I decided to try and create a Friendship Board for those of us who are a bit more neurodiverse. Asperger's is hard enough, but when you add other conditions to the mixture, things get even more complicated.

DON'T POST ANY CONTACT INFORMATION SUCH AS E-MAIL ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, AND SO ON. IT MAY BE UNSAFE TO DO SO.

I would suggest posting your name, your quest, your favorite color, your country of origin, and what you have or believe you have. You don't have to do this, it's just a suggestion.

I'll start!
