Hello!

[Giant Hogweed]

Welcome Meg. Good luck with your doctor and I hope you get what you need from the process.

Welcome, Meg.

Whether you're professionally diagnosed or self-diagnosed, you'll have a home here and be among understanding people.

If you do want to watch more autism related movies, TV series there are sadly not that many relatively speaking but there are some good ones out there on streaming. Off the top of my head I would recommend the following:

Documentary:

• Too Sane For This World: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2081405/
• Neurotypical: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1760416/
• Asperger's Are Us: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4109268/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
• Dad's In Heaven With Nixon: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1469273/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
• How To Dance In Ohio: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4135896/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_1

Films:

• Keep The Change: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4967220/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 < This one is great because most of the actors are actually neurodiverse.
• Please Stand By: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4652650/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2
• Dina: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6333058/
• Jane Wants a Boyfriend: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3302654/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2

TV Series:

• Love On The Spectrum: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11904786/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

I hope you enjoy any of the above you might decide to watch.

My own personal opinion/request: In the interest of clarity, keep doing exactly what you're doing in that you're noting that you're self-diagnosed at this point.

Again, welcome, Meg!
