There's this guy in Australia that is writing a book titled That's Autism, and my story will be in it. I'm nearly done with my piece, and the book itself should be released sometime next year. I wanted to share this with you guys since I know some of you have autism as well (I was diagnosed in 2015).

Also, since this community helped me during a tough time in my life, I'm giving the MarioWiki a small shoutout in it (Steve gave me his blessing to use the website's name).

Autism is a blessing and a curse, and I think I have it.
 
I'm happy for you!

I got diagnosed with autism 3 years ago and ever since that some people don't want to be with me just because of that. I'm glad I could find a place where I don't have to worry about that, and I'm happy you did too. (And all of the people who have autism)
 
I was diagnosed with autism very early on, when I was like 2. It's helped my ability to be perceptive. I just don't like when people who claim they have "better social skills" are constantly hypocritical and warn how dangerous it is to be overly nice to a "popular jerk" while talking to that same person too much.

Used to take meds to help, now I'm taking some herbal stuff.

TBH, I'm not a doctor, but unless the herbal stuff is prescribed, I think you should still be taking meds as directed from a psychiatrist and take herbs only if it makes you feel comfortable and knowing that alternative medicine isn't a replacement for the meds.
 
I'm probably technically on the spectrum, but I've made it almost 18 years just fine so I'm not too concerned about getting it diagnosed.

Well, we tried meds, but it made me more depressed, and also kept me from getting hungry, so yeaaaaaaa...
 
Did the psychiatrist reevaluate that and then change the drugs? There's a lot of kinds of drugs and different doses.It reminds me of adhd meds that remove your appetite and make you "buzzed" though you can take Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate, Adderall, and so on, and they all can very in your responses to them.
