Well, I am actually feeling rather shy, even scared, to be joining your forum. I am self-diagnosed, & I realized I was autistic about a year ago, by reading autistic people's own personal stories. My therapist, who I've been seeing for a long time, agrees with me & says that autism is the best explanation for my quirks & problems. I hope to get an official diagnosis from a neuropsychologist someday.
The reason I feel shy & scared is because all my life I've had trouble communicating & socializing with other people, including many embarrassing incidents on social media that have made me give up on social media altogether.
I usually prefer to spend my time in solitude, but I do feel a need to connect with other people. But I'm afraid to express myself in any way because I might alienate or offend people. I also have a lot of anger inside me, & it has come out in really bad ways on social media. I feel so disconnected from everyone & everything, I have never felt like fit in or belonged anywhere, & I have no idea what to do about it. I feel like I've never had a life.
I have a heck of a lot of things I need to talk about. It's all been building up inside of me my whole life.
