Hi everyone!

I've just registered here, after reading Unmasking Autism's chapter 7 (what a fantastic and eye-opening book, by the way!). I'm 49 and was diagnosed last year, after three years of suspicions (had lived a "neurotypical" life until then). I'm born and bred in Barcelona, Spain (¿alguien más de la zona por aquí?), and some of my special interests are: Alice In Wonderland, Care Bears, sci-fi and fantasy, drawing, knitting, dodos and bees.

I hope I have a great and healthy time here, meeting other amazing Autistic people!
