Hello!
I go by the internet name, iinasmuch but my real name is Alexandria. You can call me by my internet name, my real name, or some variation of the two. I was diagnosed with autism two years ago. I'm currently 23 years old. It would have helped immensely if I had been diagnosed sooner, but that was not the case and there's no going back.
I was referred to this forum for two reasons: I really need friends I can relate to and I just love internet forums. Haha. You see, I always depended on my youngest sister to be my best friend but she's 17 years old, she has friends her own age, she has a boyfriend; hanging out with big, autistic sister isn't cool. I recently had a breakdown after arguing with her which has led to me searching for support groups. I hope to find genuine friends who I can relate to and open up to like I've always done with my sister.
But I'm brand new to this site, so I'm going to start here before branching out in search of friends. I hope everyone is alright with telling me the ins and outs of this site, especially the forums. If you want to know more about me, just ask. I'm a pretty open book.
