Hello!

Hello, my name is Matthew. I'm 26 and diagnosed with both autism and ADHD. Like many I'm still trying to come to terms with my autism and with who I am. I was diagnosed when I was still a teen but I'm somehow still processing it. 

My special interest is clocks. I love clocks of all shapes and sizes. I spend a lot of time in my clock lab repairing them. When I'm not doing that I like to listen to music, watch stuff, do gaming, restore classic cars and bikes, and play with toys.

  • Matthew, welcome,

    It does take some time to come to terms with autism, but joining this forum should help you, as it has many others.

    Clocks sound like a pretty good hobby, and some special skill and patience is required, I'm sure.   I like the old long-case clocks myself, but don't have one; however, I do know a guy with about twenty of them, and he has once or twice  lent them to the local museum, they make a magnificent display.
