I want to introduce myself and thought we could all do that so can get to know each other better. Will hopefully help ease my anxiety.
Name and then 5 facts about yourself - can use your username if you prefer that :)
Name: Natalia ^also name of my band^
5 facts:
1 I was diagnosed with autism when I was 9 years old.
2 Been blind in my left eye since I was 7.
3 Was born on December 21st.
4 Special interest and fave hobby is music.
5 Own over 500 CDs!
Look forward to getting to know you all :)
Cool thread :) Bit cautious about sharing my real name as it would make me easy to find online, so I'll go with Sphynx.
1. I was recognised as autistic when I was 21 years old.
2. I've been totally blind in both eyes since I was two.
3. I use they/them pronouns in English, she/her in languages where the neutral isn't available.
4. Longest-standing interests include music, words, and names. More recent ones are trauma and essential oils.
5. I hope to train as a therapist, working particularly with members of queer, autistic, and disabled communities in a person-centred, trauma-informed approach.
