During my assesment process I did a google search for Asperger forum and wrong planet was the first forum to come up. I had belonged to two other forums prior. I joined the evening I was diagnosed.

I also struggle with imposter syndrome being undiagnosed. I've been spending most of my free time here lately.
Undiagnosed and even non autistics are welcome here. If you are not on the spectrum or at least have many autistic traits you should really be feeling a disconnect by this time. As far as long winded a lot of posts are like that. People finally feeling free to "let it go, let it go" I think.
I feel like I relate immensely to others here. I enjoy reading their experiences and discussing my own. Lots of similarities.
I do have a "let it go" feeling here. My communicative style doesn't work well in other places, except for perhaps certain subs on reddit. I'm always checking myself elsewhere going "be concise. don't come across as arrogant. dumb down. appeal to emotion." I hate doing that.
