Hello
my name (or a name I just made up earlier) is Plectrum.
I've been diagnosed with ASD as an adult.
Hoping to make some friends here and try being myself a bit more. What is it like ? is it a friendly place?
- any tips from existing users?
Greeting Plectrum. I'm guessing with that name you probably play guitar?
Yes, on and off. I have phases when I can't put it down, and phases when I can't pick it up. I'm not that skillful. I just like the word plectrum, and I try not to swallow them, lol.
How about you?
I used to dabble a little, no real aptitude or talent for it sadly.
 I get very distracted when I see odd things or patterns in things and forget what I was supposed to be doing, whether it's work or putting out the rubbish
Funnily enough, I started playing the guitar because I heard patterns in music due to synaesthesia and I just needed to play the sounds else my head would have exploded
