Hi all. The older I get, the harder it is for me to find a common language with people. When I accidentally heard several times that they call me strange, I realized that not only one person thinks so. I do not like groups of people - I cannot catch their mood, and I remain on my own.
Hope that all of us can find calmness in this world

Welcome to the forum. Folks around here are generally pretty cool.

I only recently learned that I'm autistic, and it's still a bit of an adjustment, but I think that there's a ton of information around here to help redesign your life in a way that gets that calm feeling. I know I'm more calm just knowing that I don't have to solve all my problems by myself.

Welcome to WP! I hope you find it worth frequent revisits.

And if a conversation here gets too tumultuous you don't need to leave the Planet, just leave that thread.

welcome! finding out I am autistic helped so much. what a relief to finally understand my struggles and painful past. finally at age 68 when I was diagnosed I began to find that peace which you mention. Glad you are with us!

Welcome to Wrong Planet. You sound like one of us. We are searching for our path in life. It can, if we allow it, lead us on strange journeys.
