Hi Tina. Great to see you on. Hope you enjoy it and make lots of friends. I'm not diagnosed, but have deep mental issues which I still suspect may be an ASD but we'll see what the therapy does.

How did you diagnosis go?

Hi Tina, welcome to Wrong Planet.

Finding out you are not alone after all these years is powerful.
