I encourage anyone who wants to see more traffic, and has the resources to do so, to create a throwaway account and confess some personal shit on here!! chances are if you do, somebody else out there will end up feeling less alone. that’s exactly what I’m doing 😃

before realizing I’m on the spectrum I’ve been to some support groups for other conditions as well as going thru DBT, and one thing I realized is that sometimes it’s cool to have a space to just put your stuff on the table, and everybody else has done so to some extent as well, and you can approach each other as human beings with less pretense because they already know your stuff unlike everyone in “real life” who you’re trying to impress.

anyway. try it out! and then ghost the account in a few days/weeks/months, or don’t.

but we all know adults on the spectrum have basically no resources. getting some traffic going here could turn this into one.
