Hi, I’m new

Hello I’m new here, although not new to autism. I’m diagnosed as autistic, as are my two children. My son (11) was diagnosed in 2012 age 2, and my daughter (10) was diagnosed last year after a long delay due to pandemic. My husband is not autistic but he’s unfazed by our unusual ways! 

My hobbies are sewing and exercise. My special interests are nuclear power stations (especially Russian built), North Korea, volcanic eruptions, USSR history and The Sacred Heart if Jesus, Stigmata. I am Roman Catholic in my beliefs, which goes some way to explain the latter. 

The habit my husband finds most unusual is when I listen to my favourite music over and over, but rewind certain parts of the song to hear them again. He can’t understand why I do this but it’s hard to explain sensory ecstasy! 

Happy I decided to join the forum.
