steverogers Report post Posted March 30, 2015 Hi I'm new here, however some years ago I did used to have an account but I can't find it so I set up this new one instead. Don't worry, this is NOT a 'sockpuppet' account, I only starting over. As for me, well I was diagnosed ever since I was about nine or ten years old, and being a 90s child, I was in and out of Mainstream and Special Ed class's (including one Autistic school, which I hated, although I did make a number of very close friends there) and when I grew up I was put into a group home in Kent where I was under the assumption that there was nowhere else for me to live, that I felt was safe which I'll add was something of a concern of mine. However I then left when I discovered that there were indeed places where I could live on my own, without any 'harassment' from lower functioning people, yet still have support, whenever I needed it. I am mostly (as in I can do everything on my own and go out on my own, but still have staff for moral support and guidance in some situations) independent, I currently go to a mainstream collage (something that I wished I did when I was younger, but hey-ho) to study English, and my family and friends (who knew me from school and the like) say that I have matured tremendously and I hope to set up my own small business someday soon, when I feel that the time is right. I have been on other sites (I also use a number of NT forums relating to my interests), one of them being Wrong Planet, which (no offence intended to anyone who uses that site) I feel was far too negative and and some of the users somewhat judgmental, so I came to this one as I remembered that the people there was more reserved and relaxed.and thus less likely to engage in drama, although I'm sure it happens here from time to time... Thank you for reading this post and I hope that you have a nice day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
