Which was questions about my history and they questioned my Mum as well.

I think I talked too much! (One of the guys said "We have more than enough to go by!" (Oops! :D Yes I do talk too much. Used to be far too quiet in school...)

Next will be via the internet to do the rest.

One of them did mention that I was "Very intelligent". (Not sure how he knows as I have not done any sort of exam? Observations through experience? Is interesting!)

Whether you are on the spectrum, or are otherwise neurodivergent, or are neurotypical GASP! you are one of the prominent denizens of WP. I hope you stay, no matter what.

(But I do kind of look forward to hearing that you are officially diagnosed as being on the Spectrum. I hope you don't mind.)

When I find out I will let you know! (I have traits either way! When I joined this site I was rather shocked to find out some of the aspects of my "Unique" character were also autism traits! I never knew! (Anyone remember the conversations?! :D )

I'd say even starting the process deserves congratulations. More congratulations will follow regardless of the outcome.

So far is simple enough. Is about background history. Also questions about making friends while growing up. I did have the odd friend but some years I did not. Used to watch others who had lots of friends and wonder how they did it! I remember when around the age of eight watching some to try and find out how they did it but I was not able to work it out. I actually thought they were great at masking! I dixn't know masking had a name back then but I knew I did it and I assumed they could do it better tha. I could to get friends.

I start off being quiet then its getting me to stop talking thats tricky. I realized from researching alot of my friends either are on the spectrum or have family members that are. Random observation. Waiting for my results. Would explain alot..
