I am new to the forums, I was diagnosed aspie by my psychiatrist just recently. I will be 33 tomorrow. Needless to say, entire new worlds of thought are sitting here at my doorstep. I'm treading lightly and carefully, and as I do, my life and struggles begin to make so much more sense to me. I feel like a new chapter in my life may be starting, one which might foster a lot more understanding within myself.
I'm learning a lot, I can say that I didn't know very much about autism at all just a few weeks ago. I keep finding myself saying, "That's an autistic thing?!" over and over again. No offense meant at all, and I feel honoured to be here among you, despite any confusion or bafflement I may currently be in.
I live in Virginia, I am the mother of beautiful (almost) two year old daughter. I love mythology, names, and the cosmos. I also love to write, especially prose. It's been my go-to outlet to try and make sense of things forever. Thank you for reading and hope to make a new friend here. ^_^
