Hello
I'm in my twenties and have just been diagnosed with ASD, though I suspected I was autistic since I was 19 because both my sisters have been diagnosed and we're very similar in lots of ways.
Because of anxiety it's taken me longer to work up the courage to seek a diagnosis but I got there in the end
My special interest is health and diseases, I find both fascinating! I wish I was a doctor!
I'm also a big film buff. My favourite film is the Muppets Treasure Island.
Good evening! Muppets Treasure Island is a lovely little film, great choice my friend! And congratulations on pushing through the anxiety to enrich yourself.
Do you have a recommendation anyone to watch online or something if I'm curious to try yoga but know nothing? I'm always looking for anything that might help my anxiety
Hello! Welcome to your autistic community!
Human health is definitely interesting! Good luck with your ambition to become a doctor!
There is an organisation called Autistic Doctors International which you may be interested in:

Anxiety is brutal and mine is in a really bad place but I've been practicing yoga at night and I'm finding this a helpful approach to dealing with it.
Ah, hopefully you can find something which works and isn't exhausting or difficult!
Hello Star, and welcome to the forum!
Like most people on here, I also have anxiety. However it's very easy to ask questions and get answers on here.
I love the Muppets Christmas Carol. I watch it every Christmas Eve without fail! My family are all downstairs celebrating and partying, I sit up in my room, with the Muppets. That's Christmas for me
Hi,
How are you?
Yes I would love to be a doctor! But I don't know how I would say med school. It's one of those things I think I could do, if I wasn't autistic.
Muppets Treasure Island is great. I was literally thinking about Dead Tom yesterday for no reason. I kinda prefer their Christmas Carol though.

Hi there!!!
Welcome to this nice little corner of the internet!
I hope you feel the diagnosis has unlocked a few things for you.
Do you think you'd like to study to become a doctor?
I seem to have a soft spot for the Disney animation!
