Is This Real Life

Hello,

I am a recently graduated MA in Experimental Psychology student. I was diagnosed as an Aspie about 2.5 years ago.

I was looking for a community with members like myself as I am constantly frustrated with NTs and was hoping I’d meet others like me that I could talk with and gain insight from. I understand everyone has their own strategies for dealing with other people, and I thought it would be helpful to find others with similar world views/thought patterns as mine. It’s always difficult to explain to NTs how I view the world and it gets tiring feeling like an outsider. I have tried meeting with groups in my area, but unfortunately, most groups were designed for low functioning individuals, or the high functioning groups were no longer meeting.

I look forward to being a part of this community, and hope to gain perspective and insight through communication with others on the spectrum, and their loved ones.

I'd say you came to the right place. Welcome to AF. :)
 
Hi McKenzie.
I was diagnosed about 3 years ago and have found this is a great place where I've found so many
with like traits, yet many differences. Good place to learn and share.
