    Thank You to a Random Forum Stranger

    Hi folks,

    I made a thread several months back. In it, I asked for advice because I realized that I was the common thread in a history of social problems.

    I described my ability to be affable and to be the life of the party, but feeling like real connections with people were always out of reach.

    From my pile o' text, someone here suggested that I might be autistic.

    That person was right. I went through a few sessions of testing over a couple weeks and it turns out that I do have mild autism.

    I think the original thread was deleted (or I simply cannot find it). I understand that some cultures are not wont to discuss issues of health publicly, and I expect his thread to disappear for that reason.

    But I wanted to thank that anonymous forum dweller. Your keen interpretation of my original post in conjunction with my age has changed my life.

    At a minimum, I am now kinder to myself. I have stopped chastising myself for the things I have historically found as failings in my character. I am not a spoiled meanie... I get deregulated. Just knowing that has changed my life.

    You changed my life... and I can't even remember your forum name.

    Thank you.

    I’m glad you got the help you needed! Me tal health has such a bad stigma around it, so people are afraid of talking about it or acknowledging they may have one.

    Proud of you!
