Hi i'm Isabella. I'm a girl and use she/her pronouns. I have been researching autism for 2 years now and my parents wont let me get diagnosed. I have to live with being unsure about myself. My hobbies are video games (vr twd onslaught, the last of us, roblox). I love music (Princess Chelsea, TV Girl, Crystal Castles).

Didrick/41/He, him. I've never been officially diagnosed as autistic but I suspect I am somewhere on the autism scale, closer to fully functional autistic but nonetless with traits that I have in common with many other autistic people. When I find a specific subject of interest, I can become completely obsessed about that one thing/topic for weeks, months, heck even years. And my interests are also randomly all over the place, where I know quite a lot about palentology (dinosaur species in particular and how they lived), seismology (I love to discuss natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, how they happen, all the technical details surrounding this and how they affect the areas they hit), music terminology (such as BPM = Beats Per Minute and keys of songs, I am a hobby DJ who loves to do EDM/Pop mixsets) so there are my broad interests haha. I'm a socially awkward introvert (which also ties into my autism) and I'm usually not one to initiate a conversation with strangers but if others make the first move and we get talking, chances are I'll suddenly make one of the above things a topic and babble away even if the other person thinks it's weird, or they might even find it fascinating how I know this stuff. Most of it is self learned either through books or on the internet. In school I was too restless and studying under a strict schedule and deadline was not for me, I feel that I learn better when I am in control of the time spent learning on my own.
So there you have me...I'm a weird loner who likes to dabble with my own random stuff but hopefully this groups serves as a great place to hang out with likeminded people! :)

Hello there!
I'm Rose Anthoney, 31 she/her or whatever you like. (afab, fem presenting, but I've realized many of my masking techniques are masc and my perception isn't really from a set lense.)
PDA and HSP profiles with overlapping ADHD and OCD. Recovered from BPD and working through the CPTSD.
I was diagnosed with BPD around 15-17 and have spent quite some time repairing the brain damage that occured from spending far too long in abusive and invalidating relationships and situations.
Through rebalancing my hormones, histamine levels and working hard on remyelination, I am officially "recovered" from BPD.
Throughout my recovery, I developed an obsession with Mental Health, Neurology and Microbiology. After years of research, I finally came to terms with the fact that I am definitely on the spectrum and always have been, and missing that and continuing through burnout to the point of psychosis multiple times is what's led to my brain being wired as it is.
I've always been a toe-walking raptor-armed excitable gifted child, and I am so glad to have found my people.
I hope to make a few friendos here, so please feel welcome to reach out if you're looking for friends or need support. I know how hard it can be to connect with people sometimes, so please know I care about you.
You deserve a happy, healthy life.

I'm Cat.
I don't really like talking about myself but I'm a good listener.
I'm level 1 autistic and adhd (diagnosed).
My age is around 14-20. My pronouns are he/him, but if you call me something else I probably won't mind.
I have been obsessing over the same fictive world from the last five years so I don't have a lot of interests. If you want to know about me just check my bio ig.
I'm pretty chill with mostly everyone so don't be afraid to hmu, even though I take some time to respond.

hii! i'm ella, 21 years old, my pronous are she/they:3 i collect everything that interests me, so...a lot of things(˃ᴗ˂) i'm currently getting professionally assessed for autism, but i suspect i also have ocd, time will tell i guess:> some of my favorite things are: fnaf, trinkets, sanrio, video games, music, japan, animals (my cat) and simple-to-make food!
i started struggling a lot with keeping my life together when i moved out from my family's home. i didn't know i was probably autistic until a couple months later when i hit burnout, so that's when i started researching and found things i related to more than anything else. but now i'm getting support in starting a job, and i'm seeing the psychologist who is assessing me so i feel pretty good rn^^

mie、16 year、 sheher
Not an official diagnosis but everyone called me the "poster child" for autism. I did my research and it's like me too much. I may say I have a "low need"? I still struggle every day especially with mental health but I get better each day. I like (no, I love) One Piece and J-Fashion. One Piece is how I have learned to make friends and to never give up. It is a special place in my heart.
