Hi, I'm suspected of being on the autism spectrum (Most likely being HFA or somewhere around that) although haven't been fully diagnosed and my other possible condition is something called 'SPD' with severe Social Anxiety.

I had a quite different life experience to most others and to cope with surviving in the form of social isolation I lived with, coped with the emptiness through a certain tactic that made it seem 'filled'. Pretty much lived a big amount of my life in hardships regarding connections with people/society, catching up with them and missed out alot on some things.

I've tried to look into myself to analyze my mind's processes for answers and so on.

Heard that there are people here with similar experiences so I decided to finally make an account. Looking forward to the forum.
