Hi everyone,
I'm new to autism and still at the self-diagnosed stage but all signs strongly indicate that I'm on the spectrum, low needs and high masking. I'm in my early 40's and the idea was only just brought up when I was in rehab for alcoholism. Working with the psychologist there we figured that it's almost certain that I'm on the spectrum. Looking into an official diagnosis, unfortunately the rehab facility didn't have the resources to do it. But coming to this realization suddenly my entire life makes sense. The "Why" I've been looking for all my life has been answered. Now I'm just trying to learn as much as I can on the topic and make some connections within the community.
Thank you for having me.
