Hello everyone!

My name is Max, and I am from Philadelphia. I am fortunate to have found a group like this. I have had autism (specifically PDD-NOS) ever since I was a baby. I've had difficulty excepting my autism in the past, and always had to pretend I was someone else to survive (aka masking). However these past 6 months from the pandemic, and after getting a certified ASD life coach, I realized that this is completely unhealthy.

If you want to further connect, my email is: [redacted] or you can reach me on instagram at: [redacted]

Happy New Year!

Max

welcome Max, glad you are with us. It is so great to find a place where we are understood by others. That is one of the best things that happened when I found out about my autism. WE are not alone!
