Name & 5 Facts

In the past I have been jumped upon by the moderators here, because I disclosed too much personal information about myself.  When I uploaded a school report from my early childhood, I redacted my name, but the moderators got nasty because i left in the teachers name.

True though it does say full names so I think it's ok to do first name.

My real name in not Robert.  My mother wanted to call me Robert, but my paternal grandmother overruled her, saying my nickname would be Bob and that sounds horrible.

Good to know. Thanks.

Community rule number 2 forbids us disclosing our real names. 

Hi.

I will go by my username, Touay.

3. I love music and my fave stim is singing (I use the term 'singing' loosely!)

4. I'd like to think this is a fact ... I am the first person to work out the evolutionary origin of laughter and humour.

3. I have worked on classic cars since I was a small child and now for  a living.
4. Married to a wonderful nhs nurse for the last 32 years.
5. Trying to sell our house and move to Cornwall for the next chapter. Hopefully a brilliant new start and armed with finally knowing why I’m different.

Hi! I'm Glitter.

1) I'm non-binary.  I don't have a strong attachment to either gender and enjoy wearing both men's and women's clothes, and activities typically associated with both.

2) I was diagnosed at the end of 2022, aged 45, but I've suspected I was autistic for over 10 years.

3) I find it much easier to express myself in writing than in spoken words. I've written over 1 million words of fanfiction exploring feelings and values and relationships, but my writing has slowed down since starting antidepressants. I'm also working (slowly) on an autistic novel.

4) I love elephants.

5) I have bright pink hair.  It brings me sensory joy and is very useful as a conversation starter when meeting new people.

Very intrigued by 5
