Hi... so, I'm kinda new here and to be quite honest, I'm rather nervous so, I'll just start talking and introduce myself and please feel free to tell me to shut up at any time.

Let's start at the beginning shall we?

To quote Douglas Adams: "In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move". Well, in this universe, I seem to have appeared. I appear to be a confused 40 year old from England who is always tired, generally confused by the world and just wants to chill at home with a duvet, an Xbox and snacks. I was given the diagnosis of having Autistic Spectrum Disorder in 2022 at to be honest, It actually came as somewhat of a relief because all of a sudden, a lot of things suddenly made way too much sense... the way I talk, the way I act, the way I get obsessed by little things that other just can't or don't seem to be interested in. At the same time, it's something I kinda didn't wanna know. I say this because when I've been in a relationship with someone, they've taken me as a fool or taken advantage of it. When I've been dating, I feel it necessary to mention it, and that's been the end of it. But you know what... I don't care anymore. I really don't because it is part of me. It always has been and always will be. Simple as that.

Anyway, I'm gonna shut up and hide back in my corner of the internet...

As you were.

Welcome to WP! And, isn't it good news? You're not a fool...you're "different".

Well, my Dad said "weird". But, "weird" turned out better than "not weird" so it grew on him.

Welcome to Wrong Planet.

You began your introduction by saying,

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move".

Well that actually tells a lot about you. You are talking about Big Bang Theory. You are talking about an event that occurred around 13.8 billion years ago.

One scientist explained this as follows:
