University experience as an autistic individual

ChickenLegs19

Hi, I am a autistic individual who has struggled a lot with my mental health throughout my 20 years of life, and only recently been diagnosed with autism. I am currently at university studying psychology, and am wondering if there is anyone else who also is at univeristy as an autistic individual here? I have found it quite hard to relate to others around me and haven't made any friends so far because of my quiet personality.
