Hello everyone,

I have not been diagnosed with autism, but I have suspected it for many years, and may soon talk to my doctor about an official diagnosis. I have felt very "different" my entire life, and reading about autism, it seems like a lot of it describes me extremely accurately. I have learned to cope with (most) things decently enough, but it would still be nice to have an official explanation as to why I am the way I am.

I am a 21-year-old college senior from the USA majoring in math, and I also like foreign languages (I can speak fluent German and would like to soon learn Mandarin), watching YouTube videos, and playing games with/talking to my friends on Discord. I just joined to read up on how others feel about autism and how they react to/deal with life in general. I hope to have some good conversations on here.
