Good day, I am a new member and I came here looking for answers. I am a 37 year old male and have suspected for some time now that I have some form of Autism. I have watched videos, done the online tests researched and it was like this is me.
I have had discussions with my parents and was told being a late talker, other delays. have some sensory issues (most of my shirts get the tags cut out) to sound, (my goodness the sound being in a basement with the furnace turning on in my childhood home) florescent lights, being the "Little Professor" I could go on.... about the focus, routines and repeating the same thing......
I really am here like I said looking for some answers, support and possible direction. Of course I do plan on talking to my doctor as I do feel a diagnosis can open some doors to possible help as well.
Have a good day and hope to possibly make some new friends on the journey in my life.

Welcome to WP! I think you will find it a nice place to visit.

And, it has very few unexpected, annoying noises. (Shhh...don't tell my bride, but I wish I could say the same thing about our home.)
:roll:

You're in luck! I don't believe there are Irish salmon on the forum. Not tonight, anyway!
