Hey.. Id just like to say Ive struggled with social problem most of my life.. And up until now I felt like an alien.. Im glad to find a place where there are other people like me!.. because i didnt even know what autism was!.. I went for so long thining all kinds of things, became suicidal temporarily and stuff like that.. I seriously thought that I was pathetic, and just didnt belong.. cause really all normal people seem to have friends..? its bizarre.. I wish I could experience that.. but I usually prefer peace and quiet..

Yes it is nice to find a place to call home. It is rather comforting to
know there are others out there that have struggled with the same
things you have, and that you can say how you feel withoug being
judged or have someone try and "fix" you. You just get to be who
you are here.

I even met a girl and its easier for people to understand me now if they know im autistic.. they dont expect me to be like they are, its like.. just a relief!.. like they can decide whether they are willing to be with someone like me, or to not. They dont have to find out later that im not normal :lol:
