    Hello... I found out I'm on the spectrum this year.

    I should have started caring in the 6th grade. My mother even suggested that I go to therapy, but I isolated instead, pushing my problems further downward. I was a shell of a human being in middle and high school. I am just now coming into my own, at 23 years of age.
