Since autism in females presents differently, we need a place to discuss our own issues and triumphs dealing with Autism.

Rules

Be respectful.

Adhere to the rules of the instance.

This is a safe space, no mean, hateful, racist, etc stuff here.

Men are welcome as long as they are respectful of our space. They should know our struggles too!

I like being able to spend literal hours focused on one thing. It makes the time I'm able to be productive longer.

Right now the worst part for me is the rejection sensitivity, especially trying to be active in a brand new place.

That actually sounds amazing. I feel like I sort of get that. Music can be so intense.

As a tangent off this, I've been feeling increasingly salty about the fact that while all my other senses are heightened, why am I so freaking nearsighted?? Lol
