Went to a poetry reading, a reading series I attend quite often... The theme was poets with disabilities... Mental illness, a friend with MS, and a young lady in a wheelchair, but... One of her other conditions was also that she is autistic! She freely talked about it in her poetry

I had to talk to her after the performance was over! I have never even met her before tonight, we had a good chat, also along with one of my poet friends whose son (8 years old) has been diagnosed...

I hope to stay in contact with her, just to network, she is in a relationship anyway

And the opening line from one of the poets who has mental illness, just before he performed... "It's okay, just to be me", and you could tell that line comes from many years of personal experience
 
It's nice to make connections like that Sherlock, glad you managed to talk to someone with similar concerns. It's actually quite rare.
