I just joined the forum. I have been diagnosed with high functioning autism. I do deal with several struggles in life, which I have for a long time. My verbal communication is rather poor. I don't think on my feet very well. My executive functioning is also not so good. So I've joined to be able to chat and possibly get support (and even give support if I can).

Hi and welcome, I hope that you enjoy it here and find it useful and supportive. Please do join in discussions, plenty here feel more comfortable communicating in writing. We may sometimes have different processing of information from neurotypical people, and this can give us more time and space and less overwhelm from others presence. It can be useful to learn other's strategies and share your own experience and ideas.
Welcome, NDR2. I hope you will get as much out of this forum as I have, not only for answers, but also the cathartic release that you are not alone in your struggles.

I think many NTs also struggle with social situations.
