Hi, welcome

This is an anonymous forum so we dont have private connections. We community champions are people with mental health issues that share their lived experiences to help others like yourself with advice.

We are open for your posts 24/7/365, just post and wait for a member to reply.

I have high functioning autism and Bipolar, I'm 68yo. I do communicate effectively however what is masked is discomfort socialising. I'm quirky and think outside the square. Due to this I have developed a series of protective strategies. The link below give you some idea of such developments.
