Greetings all, I'm Mike from England.

I hate to say it out loud but I'm in my mid-40s, officially diagnosed as somebody on the ASD spectrum in 2024 despite speculation since 1988 or earlier... I've tried to sign up to wrongplanet.net on a few occassions but for one reason or other have not made it through the gates. Is there a bug with emails being sent out? Searched high and low for some but appear to have been verified now, finally.
I'd quite like new people to talk to as a lot of my most trusted friends over the years have either moved on or gone missing and I'm trying to manage my addictions and therefore some of the more typical ways guys my age make new friends are a bit too risky for me, at least while I get used to being sober whilst surrounded by drunks!
Pleased to meet you.

Cheers.
