Well, I don´t know what to "say", but the same I feel I must, so ...

I am a 45 years old "woman" (don´t feel so comfortable with that word, don´t know why...) from a small town in Sweden, you know the land up north somewhere, but no, polar bears do not walk around in my town. ;) (But I do meet lots of animals every day when I take my "walkabouts", for instance deer´s,  rabbit´s and sometimes even elk´s/moose´s ... don´t know which word I shell use on this forum.)

I think I  am on the spectrum, but I don´t have a diagnosis, but I´m struggling along and are "happy" to have found this forum, so take care of yourself and many thanks for your "existence" and my chance to take part!

Welcome. Dunno about anyone else but I know where Sweden is. :)

I'm new here, too. Seems like a pretty quiet forum. There's a lot more activity at WrongPlanet but that place felt too big. Thought I'd have more luck here. But I think this is the other extreme, unfortunately.

Hello Bali, welcome! I'm new here too, I've read on this forum for a while before I registered, but it's a really nice place here. :)

Thank you for the welcome, Michelle and anneyce! :)

I'm not so good at writing in English, so a quiet place might suit me quite well.
I think I'm starting with looking around a bit, reading and trying to gather the courage to write more myself to come.

Thank you, Sharon! 

I am constantly looking for more knowledge about the autism spectrum, as I increasingly realize that I probably "sites" in there, and this forum seems to be a "grain of gold" in terms of putting more focus on just girls / women on the spectrum.
I have already read a lot here, but there is soo much more to explore and I am grateful for the opportunity to do it!
