Hello,

I'm a gen x mom just diagnosed. I strongly suspected since childhood, because I "felt different" and cut off from people. Now I know. Somewhat a relief, but unsettling at the same time. I am an artist, and love to spend time closed off in my studio painting. Always like solitary sports such as skiing, horseback riding, and rollerblading. Socializing with more than 3 people causes me much anxiety; to be honest, I find small talk stupid and a waste of time. Glad to be here among others like me (finally)!
