Hey guys I’m new here, (20y Female) I’ve been struggling with ASD my whole life, and with the comes other mental health conditions of course. I’d like to talk to someone who might understand. I’m in a very isolating period in my life right now. I’d love to hear your stories and get out of my own head a bit. I’m here to support and I’m at no means to judge. ☺️

Hey @Stilltrying2 welcome! Glad to have you with us, sorry to hear that you're enduring isolation at the moment, it can be so debilitating hey.
We've got an ASD Social Thread if you wanted to join us over there! And here's some Tips & Tricks to help you get started. Oh and a lil tip, if you want other members to be notified that you've responded, you can tag them - use the @ symbol and a drop down will appear, and you can choose their name. If their name isn't there, you can type it out and it should then appear for you to select, and it will show up in blue, like this: @Jynx
Glad you found this space, and hope you have plenty of opportunities to both support and be supported 😊💜
