Hi @GardenArtist, welcome!

Yes, this is a good place to start. I joined up here a couple of weeks ago (also recently diagnosed), and at first was overwhelmed with the number of posts and forums and subforums. I'd suggest browsing around at your own pace. You can find topics that are interesting to you and join in the discussions, or feel free to find an appropriate subforum and share/ask as you wish.

There's a lot to take in, but everyone I've corresponded with has been really supportive and welcoming.

I am new here. I'm 57, female, and I was diagnosed this year. I am trying to meet more people like me! Is this a good place to start?

Hi and welcome to the forum. We've got people of all ages in here from a great many different countries and it's the greatest resource for learning about autism that I have found. Talking to other people with the same lived experiences as yourself is much more useful than information provided by professional people that try to understand but don't really.
