Hello, I'm Teyverus and I am autistic. This is something completely new to me, as I was just diagnosed late last month. For nearly two years I've suspected I was upon the spectrum, even going so far as to mention my findings to some family members (which didn't turn out so well and I should have seen that coming).

Congratulations on your validation. Being surprised at your families reaction is quite autistic of you
