Is this a social convention to introduce yourself? I see people do this in Facebook groups too, personally I've never bothered before, it's not like we know these random people lol. It must be a politeness thing.

So hi, you've figured I'm autistic don't need to explain that. My 7 year old son is also autistic but milder than me. I'm your typical ASD, take everything literally, clueless about tone of voice/face expressions/body language. If everyone just said exactly what they mean I'd be fine. Also have sensory stuff.

I was diagnosed as an adult and nothing has ever made more sense, explains so much of my childhood.

And I'm married to a hoarder (anxiety disorder), untreated and undiagnosed. There are many awesome things to say about him other than starting with that, but hey, we're talking disorders here.

Nice to meet you all and really looking forward to chatting with people who make sense.
