Hiya, I'm new to this forum. I'm 23, british, high fuctioning, diagnosed at 5 years old and I'm also a male-to-female transsexual. I used to go to Reddit and follow subreddits with Aspergers/Autistic content there but the entire website is just a cancerous bore for me now, also not particularly friendly to people on the spectrum (in my experience anyway).

My parents did managed to get me diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome when I was 5 but did nothing to help me beyond that and to this today I feel like I've fallen behind a lot of people my own age. I struggle with anxiety and my social skills are lacking, to say the least, and I have no friends or anyone to really talk from day to day, not even online. No one wants to hang out with the socially stunted weirdo lol.

I guess I just want to escape to a place that isn't judgemental and rude, discuss things with people who are similar to me.

Hello there! Welcome to the forum!
btw my parents also did nothing but getting me a diagnosis(when I was 15-16). You're not alone ;)
 
Hi and welcome, this is a friendly place, and I hope you will enjoy the discussions on threads, and join in when you want to. Many of us can resonate with what you have said, and this is a particularly strange time with the lock downs etc. Lots of UK people here, and from many other parts of the world too.

Welcome to the forums.
Glad you found us and look forward to your posts and replys.
I don't have any friends either and this has always seemed like a place I can belong and talk.
:D
