Hey all I'm new to the nas and I am introducing myself. My name is Gemma Smith. I'm nearly 40 (about 3wks to go)
I was diagnosed feb 2020 after an 18month wait just before the UK went into its first lockdown from covid.
I'm a pagan, love nature, I'm regular at meetings for this
I'm currently at Blackpool and the fylde college studying ;hairdressing and barbering
I'm currently waiting for my pip to come through (this is my second/third attempt at getting it)
I've got a very supportive fiance who has helped me out alot with everything, unlike my mum who doesn't accept autism as a disability.
I enjoy colouring on my phone,baking and making cards.
We have 3 cats; a female tortoiseshell called starla, a male black and white called pebbles and a ginger male called loki
LOKI!!!!!! Fantastic name for a cat.
But may I suggest you edit this a little as the forum rules say we shouldn't use real names or photos. And also you've just put your (almost) date of birth publicly on the internet which is a bit dangerous. Keep those personal details safe to yourself sweetie. ;)
But all that aside, welcome to the forum! I'm a non-binary recovering goth who got diagnosed just before Christmas. I've been dying my hair silly colours for over 25 years. I have two rats (technically my daughters but I love them) and I bake sometimes but not particularly well.
Thanks for the input but I am being true to myself I feel better when I am honest as I used to hide things and I got bullied
That's nice, but it is still a security risk. People can use details like this in all sorts of nefarious ways. We only say it because we want to keep people safe.
Fair enough
