Waiting for diagnosis

Hello and welcome I'm in my mid-twenties, awaiting diagnosis. It's seems like a very long wait, but hopefully it'll be worthwhile.

What are your interests? Maybe there's a group/club you could join to meet similar people.

My interests?? Well, I tendo to gravitate towards geeky stuff... Love movies (especially sci-fi/fantasy), anime, Lego's, reading fiction, playing the piano, listening to music, playing tennis... 

I've joined a couple of groups, now I just have to get the courage to actually speak to someone... hehe

Geeky stuff is great. I play piano too

I find it really difficult approaching people in groups, especially when they all know each other already. I tend to try and look for someone who also looks new/isolated (a safer starting point, as they'll probably welcome the company from a fellow newbie!), or seek out the smallest group possible (e.g. two/three people standing together) and ask them a question to get the conversation started. It could be any question - like asking them how long they've been coming to the group, or when the next event is. Just something to help you get started

I love Moonlight Sonata - it's a good one for drifting off to sleep to as well! Oh, great - good luck with your Grade 4 I find classical music very relaxing. Boogie woogie sounds fun

Thanks! Yes, I think that's one of the activities that will be with me as long as I'm able to play

keep going - it improves your brain and coordination 

I started playing when I was about 10... Never did any grades back then.

I used to play mostly classical, Mozart sonatas, Beethoven sonatas (Pathetique and Moonlight, all 3 movements of each), Chopin waltzes, some Bach, Kodaly, Schumann, and others.

After university I kept playing on and off until I restarted taking classes last year! Since I've been interested in having some grade exams. I'm starting with Grade 4, I have my exam date in November and have already been preparing that.

As, what I enjoy, well after playing classical most of my life, I've started learning to play boogie woogie piano, which I enjoy a lot...
