Hello everyone! I was diagnosed a bit later in life (late 20s), and only came out of whatever denial I was in about my ASD diagnosis few years ago. I have a whole bunch of nerdy special interests and hope to meet people into the same stuff as me!

Thanks for having me. I've already poked around a bit and you seem like a cool gang :)

Welcome by all means , hope this site can maintain your interest ….took me awhile to get used to all the
Nuances of this site …. But must confess little to no experience in Social Media . Which is okay with me .
Am alittle on the older side . Hope you find this site and all the inhabitants of this Planet a very nice thing.
Has been a learning experience for me. :D

Being a nerd is one thing I've never been accused of. Probably because people think only guys can be nerds. Also nerds are supposed to be smart.
:doh:

Alloo! I am also a huge nerd (though sadly not the kind with marketable skills.) Curious to see what you're into!

I know that feeling! I'm at that 'beer money' level (or in my case, gear money since I don't drink anymore), where people will pay for my work, just not enough for me to live off of. lol

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! Is there a way to turn on reply notifications or is it best to just revisit threads here?
