Late Diagnosis and Finding Community

As someone who received a late diagnosis partially because of being AFAB, I just wanted to say that it's nice to be a part of a group of people that have similar struggles to myself in ways that I thought were unique to me for years before my diagnosis. I've had some people in my life who would be understanding about how I am, but others would say that I was weird, mean, or not smart because of how I acted especially in social situations, so it's nice to know that what I was/am experiencing isn't just a me thing. I wanted to acknowledge this positive experience because it's nice to be able to read about and talk about these things instead of having to Google everything to try to piece everything together each time I make a mistake.
