Hello people! I'm just starting to do more research on autism and finding communities with people who might be similar to me after just realising I may be on the spectrum a few months ago. I'm hoping I can start to understand myself better here and maybe talk to people about my worries and doubts with trying to get diagnosed and how to cope with the world in general.
The only other community I've found so far was on reddit and I definitely learned some useful coping skills there, as well as realising that a lot of things I do that I just thought were "normal" may actually be down to my autism (if I have it? I'm not totally sure yet, I doubt myself a lot), but I tried making a post there and getting involved in the community and it got removed by moderators with no explanation so that kinda upset me and made me anxious about trying to speak there so I'm hoping I can talk to people here instead!
Sorry for kinda rambling but yes, this is an introduction post, so hi!
