Hello! My name’s Tina and when I was in high school, there was a therapist who wanted to get me checked for autism but my mother got offended and never wanted me checked.

Years went on and went to therapy by myself, at age 25, without mentioning my suspicions about me having autism, the therapist suspected I had autism and we did some tests… The results came with a diagnosis! By that time I was already 26.

Been reading about the condition and found this forum, since it’s a pretty active place, I joined!

Anyways, here are some facts about myself:
- I’m from Spain, so I learned English from school/the internet. My native languages are Spanish and Catalan.
- I live with my boyfriend and our two parrots.
- I work as a Graphic designer in advertising.
- In my free time I draw, watch YouTubers and play Animal Crossing (been a fan since the NDS game).
