Hello I am Jo.
This place is incredible.
I have been down a rabbit hole for a few years that took me to a conference Saturday night and now there I hear about wrong planet, how awesome is that! Our Autistic community is incredible and I love finding these hidden but visible goldmines of insight and support.
I am happy to have the opportunity to have a new space to say hello and meet other Autistic people, so hello :)

Hello. I did not know I have autism traits apart from one until I came onto this site and I came onto this site due to a lifelong search to find out what was happening to me which it turns out that they are shutdowns. Welcome to Wrong Planet.

Hi from another female.

My late grandfather was born in France. I've never been there, but I studied French in school. I still remember some of it. You do English a lot better than I ever did French.

Hi and welcome! Can you let me know what kind of conference that was? Is it autism-related conference or something else? Maybe I can attend it too when it will happen again.

Thanks everyone for saying hi. I didn't bring donuts, but my enthusiasm is here and you have all been nice, :) sending love from France
The conference was marketed to women in the work place but LinkedIn is a cool place to find conferences and advocates working in positive way to help the progressive understanding of Autism. :heart:
