Just got results from testing today and now I'm here as a high-functioning autistic person. First time I've said that. It only took 62 years of feeling like I was on the wrong planet (I've been using that term for years before I was told of this site) to arrive at my diagnosis. I'm looking forward to learning more about living with this and I'm sure there are some very helpful people here to assist with that.

Welcome to WP! I hope you enjoy the company here.

I suspect you shouldn't set your hopes too high on learning more about living with ASD-1, however. After 62 years of living with it and testing out as "High-Functioning" you apparently are reasonably good at living with it already.

But I hope you stay. More good company would be welcome.

(And, in case you don't already know...remember not all the folk here are high-functioning. Be gentle.)
