I found out about Steemit in August 2017 too - @asperger-kids who back then was still a female mentioned it in one of her videos's comments. In fact I came around to comment on her posts. ;o)

I started with an introductory post about myself. I received some warm welcomes and nice upvotes. As I intended to write about my life with Asperger's syndrome too some posts on everyday experiences followed. (I'm thinking about getting back to that topic now ...)

I was feeling a little insecure at first and within the weeks this feeling increased. Finding out about the libertarian movement on (German) Steemit would add to this feelings of insecurity and being wrong too.

I don't remember having a "first fan". I think @asperger-kids was happy to have another female with Asperger's around but we turned out to have different ideas about life and society.
