i'm a newbie here, but not to message boards. i'm kind of lost on what to say though! not sure as to how much i wish to disclose.
if there's something i need to say but haven't, please let me know! i'll try to answer to the best of my ability.

i haven't been formally diagnosed, but i've been sure i have autism since october of last year. even so, i keep learning more and more about it, and the more i learn, the more it just... makes sense! at this point, i'd be confused if i had anything else.
i'm not exactly open about it with most people either, but i don't think i'd mind if anybody found out.

also: do i have to talk a certain way here? i don't mind doing that but it's a lot easier for me to talk in all lowercase since that's just how i'm used to talking. i've typed like this since 2018, i believe.

hope i can stay!! ^^

Hello and welcome. You don't have to talk in a certain way. Do not worry. Any questions ask away.

Hello, and welcome to Wrong Planet! :mrgreen:

Like Mountain Goat said, you don't have to type a certain way here. There's a lot of people with different typing styles.

And feel free to stay and post here, there's also a lot of people who are undiagnosed and who have family members who aren't aware of them believing they have autism.

Just make sure you follow the rules and terms of use, plus the additional rules for some specific sub-forums, in "sticky" threads near the tops of the relevant sub-forums.

But, beyond that, people here have a wide variety of styles.

Hi! I'm also new here and also undiagnosed. It seems that if you feel you belong here, you'll be accepted, at least by a lot of the members.

I'm not bothered by the all-lower-case style. All capitals is a little annoying but hey, it's all about being different here.
