Feeling somewhat worried and on autistic spectrum (lemmy.world)

Hi, I have recalled that I had been invited to post here sometime ago while I had some other issue going on, which I think it involved Reddit. Right now, I'm feeling okay, but perhaps feeling a little worried, and I'm wondering if I could talk about it here even though I'm on the spectrum as I had been diagnosed in the past with having Asperger's Syndrome. I must let you know that it may run long as it will probably also include experiences I had in the past since when I used to be a child.

Feel free to talk :)

Alright, maybe I can write up everything I have on my mine and keep it related to autism as to not be in violation of rule #2.

I believe the rules aren't so strict. If you're autistic and you're facing issues you'd like to talk about, but can't find a more welcoming place, feel free to talk in here. I believe everyone will be kind to you.
