#introduction post? Hi, I'm Dan.
I don't generally do social media. And yet here I am. Trying out this Fedi thing,
excited to have a space where I can just be myself.

I'm recently self diagnosed
#ActuallyAutistic, #PDA, #Aphantasia, #Anauralia & officially #ADHD (39yo, better late than never!)
It's been so enlightening to finally start learning and embracing who I really am.

Meeting other autistic people has been amazing and is helping me feel less alone.

So um hi
🙂
@dan
Do you mind me asking what aphantasia is?
@independentpen Aphantasia is "image-free thinking". I still think just as much as everyone else, but I don't (and can't) form a visual image in my mind.

I still know what stuff looks like, I can describe what stuff looks like, I can recognise things based on their visual appearance, but it's kind of like "I just know, intuitively" instead of actually seeing an imaginary picture of the thing inside my head.
