Hello everyone my name is Alex I am 28 years old and recently diagnosed with autism. I have struggled for a long time and find it very difficult to make friends and lasting relationships. I thought I would try and find a way to connect with like minded people. I love learning languages (Japanese), animals, computer games, skateboarding and music.
That's absolutely fine! I understand I'm a huge worrier myself I have been diagnosed with so many different forms of anxiety before they discovered I had autism. Ferrets are super cheeky they make me laugh. I don't have any sense of danger in some odd respects bit of an oversharer haha
Thank you I have OCD and anxiety - just waiting for my autism assessment to complete the set! They're so cute. I can be like that sometimes - the poor sense of danger tends to apply when I'm crossing roads, which isn't great I'm good at being careful online, but I'll meet people face-to-face and start sharing all sorts of details. I then walk away from the conversation and start questioning why I shared so much!
It's good to chat to people who understand these things.
It's nice to know it's not just me!
I'd love a rat, but pets do cost a lot. I've never actually seen a badger, but I'd really like to.
This is me too! I'm a massive oversharer then feel really uncomfortable when something I said is mentioned later. It seems to really freak people out when I share too much, too honestly.
I also can't judge speeds/distance, hence stopping my driving lessons and being really bad at cycling (no balance either).
We had 5 rats who we loved but they were constantly getting ill and cost a fortune at the vet. We're vegan now so instead of pets we feed the birds/badgers/hedgehogs.
Haha, so does mine! He ends up having to pull me back to the pavement because I can't judge the speed It's so horrible having to replay conversations in your head. Strange but fascinating
Wow same here my boyfriend has to stop me walking into traffic all the time ! I'm the same, the worry about what you have said after is so intense then I can't talk to anyone for a few days. Strange how our brains work
