Hi :)
I'm autistic. Unfortunately I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety pretty severely. A lot of passing out in stressful situations which can be embarrassing to say the least! I'm not very sociable I'd like to be but it's not something I'm capable of. No friends because of this and I don't really talk to my family I just can't talk properly I really struggle with it. I've thought of contacting NAS and seeking their help but I'm not sure I can cope. Even a little stress or change results in big waves of problems for me. So mostly I stay in my comfort zone and safe space, I take things one step at a time.
I find medical things really interesting. I'd love to be a doctor, not possible at the moment but who knows in the future I might be able to if I can better control my autism and anxiety. I live in hope.
I like music especially classic like Beethoven and Mozart. I enjoy a little tv and movies. But mostly I love to be in my garden with the flowers and listening to the birds. I love nature.
I feel I've said so much about myself here. Sorry! :)
Welcome, Pru.
I'm hoping that an old Family Friend will help me set up a Polytunnel. The plan is for me to grow my own potatoes, with a man I know building raised beds - with his son - for me.
I like most music, but am Indie at Heart. Listen to Radio X when driving. I grew up with the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Oasis, Blur and Supergrass. Now, I've evolved towards Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, Joy Division, The Fall and The Stone Roses.
Hi Desmond,
Thank you!
You should definitely give it a try. It can be hard work but so rewarding especially if you're growing your own food. It's a good hobby as well, keeps you busy and gives you less time to worry. That's what I find when I'm in my garden.
It sounds like you have a wide range in your taste of music. I will have to look some of them up, I know Bob Dylan though!
