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!

Learning languages! I’ve dabbled in many, gotten proficient in a few, and fluent in one so far.

I used to like public policy and poverty reduction, but it’s much harder for mental health - so I’m trying to focus on other interest.

It opens up you mind unlike almost anything else and feels like a superpower once you start to get a grasp of a new language.

I want to learn other languages so much! But for some reason my brain always goes No thanks when I try. I like learning, and I learn other stuff, it just doesn't want languages.

To be fair, I can see exactly what my brain would do with a second language and that is use it to torment me.
