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.
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.
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.
