Greetings! I am new here.

Hello, I am a 26 year old autistic man.

I’m new to this community, and I wanted to introduce myself and say hello! I’m an autistic adult looking to connect with other autistic people, learn from their experiences, and hopefully make some new friends along the way.

Some of my biggest interests are anime, marvel, dc, Godzilla, transformers, video games, and strength training. I’m especially passionate about unconventional lifting, which has become a huge part of my life!

I’m also interested in hearing about other autistic adults’ experiences with friendships, finding a sense of belonging, and navigating everyday life. Often it can be difficult to find people who understand your experiences, and I’d love to connect with others who can relate.

What are some of your interests or hobbies? I’d love to hear about them!

    Yeah, I’ve heard quite many stories about how difficult it is when folks find out about their autism after age 30. I am sorry about you having to deal with the difficult struggles of that. I am sorry about sciatica and scoliosis as well. I did a bit of research and those conditions definitely sound very brutal. I definitely related with prioritizing my interests too, which my gym life is usually the main interest. I definitely enjoyed quite much marvel and dc content too. Along with much video games that I have played on my Wii console and ps4. You having interest in wanting to be a mental health advocate does sound interesting. The constant burnout definitely sounds pretty rough. But yeah, I hear you man, sorry about all those struggles. I hope things get much better for you eventually in the future.
