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.

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.
