me), (b) I was *so* inspired, right from the start, by Marie &amp; Co for setting it all up (seeing what amazing autistic individuals on a forum can do working together dispelled any feelings I was useless or broken or ineffective &#8211; we can be powerful), but ALSO by the other people in the group &#8211; I identified with them, saw how they were ND and really liked them for it (I could NEVER like myself before I knew I was ND) &#8211; just the first information session was a great start for a positive autistic ID! NDSA has made such an amazing difference to my life in such a short time. I really mean it. The discussions are so good too &#8211; there&#8217;s a real hive kind thing going on.
