Hi everybody, I am new here on the forum. I am from Belgium, so please forgive me if I make errors or if my way of writing is a bit weird. I have ASD (in Dutch it's ASS :D ). I'm 50 yrs, female. I hope I'm not too old for this forum. My aim is to find out how other people with ASD function, cope with daily life and what struggles they have.

Welcome! I hope you make new friends and enjoy your stay in the process!

And no, you're not too old! There's some people in their 60s, I think I saw someone in their 70s if I'm not mistaken, on here

Txs ! I am here because where I live there is not such a big ASD community, and I'd love to practise my English a bit :wink:

Welcome madcats.

Not too old at all. I think it's good that WrongPlanet has such a mix of all ages and interests. Some of the "youngsters" here are wiser than I will ever be! :lol:

True, but they can't compete with the silver hair that we've got :wink: And they say that all wisdom is hidden in silver hair...

Welcome to WP. I also was worried I was too old at 64 and this forum would just be for youngsters. Refreshingly, there is a wide span of ages and also different nationalities and I have found the diversity extremely interesting.
