Greetings Saraaa! You are not alone here, and I hope you stay at least for a bit. English isn't my mother language either. Where are you from? Do you have any interests or hobbies?

Masking is tiring. Some women on the spectrum do better socially, and as such people dismiss the possibility they might be on the spectrum. If you mask and socialise "too well" then people struggle to accept that you might be on the spectrum

@Stuttermabolur these words mean a lot to me! I'm from Switzerland but originally from Eastern Europe. I have a very long list of hobbies, but mostly I enjoy creating art :) and you?

@Raggamuffin this is right, in my culture it is also seen as a bad thing and I always got shouted at when not acting "normal"

I'm Icelandic, though I lived in Serbia for a while and can understand many of the languages in the region (since they are pretty much the same). I mostly enjoy reading and board games, but I also really like looking at art. We have a few art threads on here if you are interested in sharing. A lot of people here are artistic.
