HI All

As the title says im new here but not new to autism. I have been an adult diagnosis in the UK but known/suspected for a long time with lots of missed opportunities in childhood due to parents/stigma (although Such is Life, so have no hangups about it).
I have done the post diagnosis binge research and taken a few years to genuinely take it all in (i can almost to the day pinpoint the 5 stages of grief).
I guess im here like a little caterpiller emerging from its cocoon, hoping for both support as well as interacting with like minded individuals aswell as maybe helping others (no doubt folly or vanity)

Welcome. Perhaps you are nearer to the butterfly stage?
