Hello, I am a recently self- diagnosed autistic woman. I also have ADHD.
I am looking to establish a social space here for those of us who are on the spectrum.
Please say hi here if this is you.

Hey @Sweetcakes, thanks for joining the Forums and sharing your experiences with the community!
I am diagnosed with schizophrenia, which I learned last year is also neurodiverse. Helps me understand parts of my experience and life better. How do you feel about your self-diagnosis and does it help you understand yourself bettter?
Take care

Yes, recognising it has definately helped me to understand myself better. A prof. Diagnosis is what I ultimately need in order to get to the Nitty gritty, though.
It is also quite validating, as there are times when I behaved in ways I didn't understand but do now to some degree.
