Hello everyone

Hello!  Today, I was finally diagnosed after a pretty confusing life (I’m in my 40s now).  I work in software engineering, really love listening to music (and audio equipment) and have the best dog, who looks after me when I need it :-)  I hope to get to know many of you over time and hope I can be a friend to some.

  • Hi, and welcome.  Congrats on the diagnosis, and don't worry, you might gradually unconfuse now and become more aware of yourself.  You were stuck in a loop trying to get your ND application interface to correctly work with the older and more restrictive NT ones, it rarely goes well: stress++, anxiety++, coping--.  You need ND to ND data flow to help you unencrypt and repackage   Slight smile

    What auto equipment is that?  After leaving college I built a few bits of audio kit for home music, including an 8 channel mixer (very basic but worked).

    Sounds like a great dog, where can I get one?

  • You have great music taste :) I like all them. My sister is a big Bowie fan.

    I'm a huge Swiftie! Love all her music.

    My fav band is Queen.

  • Ah! Taylor Swift, I saw your profile :-) 

  • Thanks for the lovely welcome, Serita.  I love that you said “congratulations!” 

    I like lots of things, Elbow, Bowie, Goldfrapp, Gossip / Beth Ditto are some favourites.  

    How about you? Do you have a favourite band or performer?

  • Hello, welcome in! :) 

    Congratulations on getting your diagnosis. I hope it's brought relief and answered a lot of questions for you.

    I like music as well. It can be so relaxing. What music do you like?

    Aw your dog sounds a lovely friend. I love dogs but am allergic unfortunately.

    I hope you find the community a great place. There's a lot of lovely people here.
