Hey all,
I'm new to the community and new to the idea that I'm on the spectrum. Someone close to me confided in me a few months ago they suspected so, so I looked it up and many high-functioning descriptions fit me to a T. I had no idea that HFA even existed, but now that I know it explains why I've always been a bit of an oddity everywhere I go. I'm an adventurous, if somewhat withdrawn person and live in Mexico teaching English. Traveling and living abroad can be both a respite and a challenge; my highs are truly high, but my lows are sometimes crushing as my emotions are often overpowering. It's difficult to maintain friendships as is, but sometimes I feel quite isolated here and could use a place to talk to others like me. I'm a generally solitary person and I've always just dealt with things on my own so this is all very new for me. Hope to chat with some of you and share some thoughts, thanks for reading.
