Hi, I am new and a little bit nervous with people I don't know very well, sorry.

I'm 26 years old and I have very recently self-diagnosed. On the one hand it is such a relief to have an explanation, but I've always hoped that I would wake up one day and suddenly everything would be easy for me like it seems to be for NTs, and now I realise that can't happen. I find everything about life so exhausting.

I haven't said anything to my boyfriend yet (he is NT). He has stood by me even when I have done things that he finds very confusing or upsetting and I want to pick the right time to explain it properly, after I have got used to the idea a bit. I'm hoping I can make some friends here, it is such a relief to realise that there are other people like me in the world.

Thank you for reading :)
