Hello

AutisticRiver88

Hi, my name is River, I am 29  (30 on Xmas eve) i am transgender (she/her) I was diagnosed when I was 13 with Autistic Spectrum Disorder and I live in Southwest Devon in Exeter, I enjoy playing video games, drawing, colouring, stimming, singing to music, sometimes playing guitar, but cant play it for long due to having a short attention span. I am mostly introverted but I am still open to meeting new people and making new friends, I recently signed up for this and decided to finally embrace and accept and learn to live with my autism instead of pretending I do not have it and have meltdowns more often than I would if I didn't stim for a while or anything like that, due to sensory overload. 

My favourite colour is purple and I spend a lot of time watching youtube , I am anxious while writing this as I do not really know if I am just rambling or whether im making any sense but still, I have problems oversharing so I am wary of that,  I am a nerdy person and often quote games and movies that iv'e seen to avoid awkward situations or feeling uncomfortable. 

I am always happy to make new friends and meet new people Slight smile

Thanks for reading

River ~

    It was glorious. You had that usual "country sky", but a meteor shower, fully visible too, spraying light around it for ages. I stayed watching on Beer Head until sunrise.

    I'm planning (hopefully!) to get down to Beer next summer. Yeah, it's only a short bus ride down there on the 899. I'll let you know when I'm down there. I always go to Sidmouth at least once, I always like to see Gythna's estate house. It's crazy to think that the church behind Toymaster has a house that has been there since before the Battle of Hastings. As for the story of what supposedly happened to Gythna, it's straight out of a Horrible Histories book. Profumo's estate was in Beer, and he supposedly had his infamous "parties" there. Lots of interesting stuff around there.
