Lovely new board.

[Thoosa]

I was going to tag on everyone who was so articulate and persistent in getting this for us, but if I do it now, I’ll miss my meeting.

Thanks to all of you, though!!

I’ll go and find some very soft velvet and fake fur furnishings for our new den instead.

@InvalidCrumb

Hello all. Just wondered if this is an appropriate place for me to post - I don't particularly consider myself 'ND' and have no diagnoses. But I tend towards the ASD side of things, I like my communication to be fairly precise (this makes me a pedant), I love humour with words and sci-fi stories and films etc and think my friends see me as fairly critical of fluffy crap. So I feel an affinity with some of you, but also I don't want to step on toes.

I get by OK in life but I'm sure I'm seen as a bit of an oddball - I'm pretty much at peace with that. My DH is similar to me which helps!

I'll take that as a 'no' then.... Happy to back off for this board to be for people with diagnosed conditions, though I might lurk if that's ok....

@InvalidCrumb
You could try the AQ test here
And the National Autistic Society has some here

They are rather catch-all but worth doing to get an idea of whether you really might be ND

I have known I am for many years (most of my life), but only recently have I sought diagnosis.

Anyway I was actually here because I wanted to say how wonderful it is to see so many new faces / names on here after only a few weeks!

I'm so sorry @InvalidCrumb I have no idea how I missed your post!
Welcome to the board

@InvalidCrumb I am not diagnosed either - I am currently pursuing a diagnosis but it isn't a fast process and I have only just taken the first step. I have been welcomed by the lovely people on the board.
