Hello to you all, i wanted to inform that i'm taking a break from the forum, it has been a pleasure to get to know you all and i'd like to thank all those that have helped me discover so much about how my autism presents and helpful links to discover so much more about this 'way of being', a lead factor in stepping away is that this site has also enabled me to indulge in my other thinking and make endless notes on how to be a 'better me' either by understanding my hypersensitivity, developing a 'growth mindset, to name but two...... i'm amazingly good at understanding in concept but at this point find it so difficult to put the knowledge into practice, I'll try the different approach of 'stuff it' i'm me and throw my realms of 'discovery' away. I wish each of you the best and wish to share that i think this is a supportive and friendly site, my first and last in regards to on line support forums.
