hi.. im cy.
I was diagnosed as a child but my parents "disagreed". eventually it was too obvious to ignore that something was up.
it has only been in the last 10 years or so that i have really come to terms with this and realized what it means in my case.
the site was recommended to me recently after a rare occurrence of me mentioning it to an associate who works in social services.

I've already made a few posts, maybe that was an overstep..

hello to all and thanks for sharing!
