Quick introduction.
I’m a 51 year old female (creak) who was diagnosed just over a year ago, and who needs friends.
Maybe I’m not allowed to say that? I don’t know!!! Not sure I know anything any more...
While my diagnosis explained a lot, it also opened the doors to loads of questions. I’d masked all my life, had a “good” job, been in relationships, helped people, had a child....yet I suddenly felt I wasn’t the person I thought I was.
How do you get your head round that?
Anyway...here I am, wondering - after a lifetime of blips - if I’m even worth knowing, while realising it would make the most sense to make friends in the neurodiverse world.
Can you sense my confusion?
I hate the term “high functioning” as I believe it hides so many enormous struggles, but I have to admit I am it...or I appear to be just that.
There you have it. It’d be nice to get to know some new people, so please say hi....

I'm king of the nerds - done a lot of weird stuff through my life
What are your passions and hobbies?
I'm sad enough to be into Lego and RC models - as well as being into planes, trains and automobiles. I'm a history nerd and Disney fan.

ive created an angel with a fork out of telephone cable wires it took me hours. He is very colorful and can stand ( using the end of the fork )
You make jewellery? Cool - do you sell any?
I have tons of Lego - and my wife has all the Harry Potter Lego and the trainsets.
We're a Lego family - my head can be unclipped.
That’s not sad at all! We all have our own interests and nobody should be judged on that.
Me, I’m into wire.
Hehe....by that I mean making stuff out of it. You need earrings shaped like Lego? I’m your person
