I'm 20 years old from Las Vegas. I've always felt different and isolated from my peers growing up, but was too ashamed of the idea of being autistic to seriously consider it until some time last year (can't remember exactly when). I now believe I am autistic, and my mom agrees.

My special interests are Animal Crossing, some anime, and biology. I've always been a nerd. Science has been my special interest since I was little, and anime has been a part of my life since I was 8. I also love the color pink and cute things in general.

I've known about this site for a while but only just joined today because, frankly, the loneliness is killing me. I have friends IRL but they aren't like me. So I hope to meet some nice people who can understand me and maybe make some friends on here :D

Welcome! Have you completed any self-reported screening tests for autism?
