Hello, and welcome to the forum!

This website was created by Alex Plank in 2004 as a place where people on the autism spectrum can interact with each other and not feel like the outcasts that we often are. It also has some resources to help people learn social skills and stuff.

Welcome to the forum.

What is WrongPlanet? To me, it's the place I come to when I need to talk to people who understand my condition, and where my autistic view of the world won't be looked down on, mocked or dismissed. Coming here has helped me to understand my diagnosis far more than anything said by the "people in white coats" ever did. I have received loads of support when I needed to talk about my problems, and plenty of excellent advice. Hope you find the same!
