Hello Awesome Warriors! I'm new and newly diagnosed- Just saying HI

It only took me three weeks to decide to say, HI, publicly. :)
But here I am. Newly-diagnosed, 56-year-old retired law professor. As I look back and begin to understand the past 50 years, I am stunned as to how I ever made it this far! The learning curve is steep, but so worth it. I very much look forward to learning from each and every one of you. I hope to share helpful experiences, funny realizations, witty observations, and lots of support and compassion. :hibiscus:

Hi IxchelAspie welcome. This is a good site to learn and get helpful ideas and supportive responses, hope you enjoy it here. Wow that's a tough job you had, and I hope you are enjoying your freedom! I guess it can be a mixed feelings though, I know I rely on work a lot to structure my time. So you are on a new adventure to freedom! Enjoy!

Welcome you're in a good place here with intelligent, caring, accepting, supportive and friendly folks! We have some very funny people here so witty and funny will fit in just fine.:D
 
Hi IxchelAspie, and greetings to a fellow professor! I'm fairly newly diagnosed too, and also in my 50s. There don't seem to be many openly autistic academics about, so I'm very pleased to meet you. I'm new here too and have found it to be a very friendly place.

Thank you! You are so kind. I suspect there are more academics with ASD than we otherwise believe. Look forward to chatting. :):hibiscus:
