Hi, New Here

Hi. My name is Cambria Jenkins. I'm 40 years old as of this date, and actively seeking friends like me. I take care of my mother, and have a small dog.

My autism journey started as a child. My mother accepted my autism (hell, she pushed and fought for the diagnosis), my father did not. I may not know all the clinical terms - or the autistic culture terms, for that matter - but I can tell you how it is to grow up autistic, and know about it. My latest diagnosis was of Asperger's Syndrome, given to me by a woman who thought I was too "smart" for autism.

Anyway, feel free to say hi.

Hi Cambria welcome. I hope you enjoy it here this is a good place to find information and ideas and people are kind and helpful. It sounds like you are well informed about autism already! There are plenty of interesting threads to read and respond to here.
