Welcome to the club. Sad club but a club anyway.
Feel free to hit me up on matrix if you want to talk (disclaimer: no trauma dumping plz). Also, there is an autism community on world and a matrix chat you can join if you like with over 100 members. Very chill and nonviolent place imo.
I think people with a bad past understand each other silently. As long as we can stay nonviolent towards each other, we make good running mates (metaphor).
No pressure, I‘m just trying to be clear and complete.
How do I find the matrix group? I'm new to matrix
Either go to [email protected] and put in search for „matrix“ or you use this: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-world-autism:matrix.org
very interesting and annoying. have you looked in the autism community on lemmy.world?
