Likely Autistic™, didn't have the guts to go get a diagnosis so far. European, queer, engineering student, 20-something.

I enjoy science, sci-fi (ST: TOS and B5 are my recent favourites), history of science, books, you know the drill. I think I joined...dunno. I can't talk to people. I want to talk to people. Tough.

Hi!

Welcome! It's nice to meet you.

Greetings

The diagnosis was a relief for me. I wouldn't be afraid of it.

I can only talk to people about things in which I am interested. I can't do small talk. I don't even try anymore.

Hi!


Hi!

I've read about - and encountered - so much ignorance about diagnosing ASD in a) adult and b) females, I'm afraid of encountering it while trying to get my diagnosis, and I've been unable to find a qualified psychiatrist I would trust so far. I'm planning to move for my graduate degree in 2 years to a place with a slightly wider range of options, I'll definitely be looking into someone there. Knowing I'm autistic was a huge relief in itself, too.

I can kind of pretend I can do small talk, but judging by people's reactions I'm being extremely creepy and/or awkward. Can't actually sustain relationships for the life of me.

Nice to meet you!

Hey tachyons welcome.
