I'm going to just go by Bitter Grapefruit for now and decide later if I want to share any personal or identifiable info...seeing what the rules say, and how I feel after things went south on some other platforms while doing that.

I knew about this place since 2008 or so when I got told about my diagnosis (really I got it somewhere between 1 and 5 years old, I'm 21). Never came in for various reasons but I'm here now, I guess.

Sorry if I come across as bitter in my words a lot - I usually am, that's why the name.

I've been on other forums before, including one for people of different abilities and some general or gaming ones. Older internet places aren't really my style any more than newer ones though, I'm a misfit socially (wow who guessed) and I'm not very good with following rules, cultures, or formats. So I'll try to be quiet and just observe. (and probably write a lot less than in this post).

Lastly, I want to confess my history online is not clean; I've been banned from some sites and other places etc. although usually it was a soft parting. It's part of why I'm bitter but not the whole story, my real life has been a bit kinder to me but only by so much. People who know me face to face don't really like me online and vice versa.

Oh, nice, this place uses the old emojis from one of my first online places. That's nice too...
