Hi there, my preferred name is Rodrigo, but you can call me Ro, everyone else does
I usually have a hard time writing about myself, but I will do what I can
About a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with BPD but never really feel like I had it, when I was diagnosed I put on that shirt and said "this is who I am" (was looking for myself) but as the months came nothing really made sense.
This week I started reading about autism and the more I read, the more everything in my life started making sense, the loud noises, the social anxiety, the eye contact, the food, the obsession about certain topics, every single symptom checked out for me and, as stated, every situation in my life started making a LOT of sense.
I am here because I'm pretty bad at social situation and feel lonely. I have cut ties with all my "friends" and my family does not support me. They even hid my autism from myself and the world and forced me to "be normal" because they only care about the opinions of their friends and people around them, they are abusive narcissists that only showed me love when I acted like they wanted me to.
About me? Well I like video games (souls series are my favorite), music (my favorite thing in the world) and junk food (I love cheeseburgers and nachos)
I also enjoy cooking, baking, I am starting to read more and have enjoyed it.
Sorry for the very open introduction, but I am who I am and don't feel like hiding the things that happened to me in fear of shame, I am tired of hiding my face between "socially acceptable masks"
Nice to meet y'all, hope we can become friends.
