Hey, I'm new here :)

Hi! I'm a female from the UK, and I'm 30 years old. I've always considered myself a little odd but lately I have become convinced I have aspergers. There are so many reasons I think I have it that it would take too long to list them but suffice to say that it explains a lot, and it was a real lightbulb moment when it finally clicked not long ago.

Anyway, I have a couple of friends in RL and more online, and I have lots of acquaintances and last but not least, a sweet loving partner. But I am really lonely, mainly because I only fully click with others who are on the spectrum, and I can't help but feel acutely aware that most people probably find me awkward and socially inept at best, or just downright weird and annoying. This makes me feel really sad. So I wanted to meet some like minded people to chat with, and maybe even make some friends. I feel like the only person in the world with this, even though my partner and most people I have been close friends with in the past and present have exhibited many AS tendencies.

Okay, anyway that's why I'm here. Pleased to meet you all Thanks for having me!

You must have a most unusual way of playing the lyre!

Welcome to the Forum!

Hey, thanks for the welcome

I'm self employed and I run my own business from home, and I also home educate my 6 year old son. That takes up most of my time! I'm in a choir and I also love walking in nature, camping, films and reading.
My username is a reference to my favourite books, the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman...
