Hello, I am of recent diagnosis; about a year now. It's been a relief to finally understand my ways of navigating through the jumps and hoops of life.

It helps me understand why some people see me as wierd or creepy, why some others embrace those differences from themselves and value me for who I am.

Accepting myself opposed to fighting my "flapping" and excitable personality and explosive lows or "meltdowns".

Word don't matter or labels, to me; but it's been a relief and helpful getting the therapy I need to address my social difficulties.

Anyways, hi! I'm happy to have been referred to this forum. I wish you all well.

Welcome to WP! As you have already discovered, there are some nice people here.

And I agree that being diagnosed explained a great deal.
