Hello I'm new here

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 Slight smile 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 Slight smile 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.

  • 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 LaughingLaughing
