Hi, I'm a 25 year old female and am looking for some friends on here to speak to. It's hard making new friends so I recon this is a great place to start.
A few things about myself, I was just diagnosed this year and am learning new things about myself everyday. Some of my hobbies include photography, birds, bees, animals, harry potter and gaming.
Naturally I'm a very shy person in real life due to extreme social phobia, but I enjoy chatting with people online and always do my best to respond as soon as I can. I have a fiancé who I have been with for 7 years now, engaged for 3 years and I will be moving in with him at the beginning of next year! We are both autistic and require a bit more help than neurotypicals so we will be starting out living with his parents, possibly in an annex or very close to his parents house if any surrounding houses become available.
I hope you can understand, I would prefer to speak to people who are 20+ as I feel friendships with younger people a bit uncomfortable.
Welcome! What games do you like?
I imagine it helps having a partner who's also autistic as you'll likely (though not always a guarantee) be on the same page.
It definitely helps because he is so understanding. It's actually because of him that I started to research autism and looked for a diagnosis!
I'll list my top 10 games and which console! These are NOT in a particular order.
1. The Walking Dead Telltale ( I like pretty much all of the telltale games, and I play these on PS5)2. Police Simulator ( PS5) 3. Animal Crossing (Switch)4. Stardew Valley (Switch, but I also have it for PC)5. The Last of Us I & II ( PS5)6. Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS5)7. DayZ (PS5)8. I like horror games such as Madison and Layers of Fear ( Both PS5)9. The Life is Strange games (PS5)10. Hogwarts Legacy (PS5)
I have more games but if I listed all the ones I enjoyed I'd be here for a very long time haha! Do you play any of the ones I've listed?
I'm glad you've struck lucky there, because I've learnt from experience that two autistic people can still be completely different.
I like Mario Kart, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro etc - all those classic platformers on the Switch!
I like how younger generations are still enjoying the old games I'm over 30 now and I was the first generation to experience these games and now o have not only the new trilogy but I also in my fair size collection of old cheat books(that used to come free with magaiznes) I have the guide for all 3 games If I get stuck as I never ever have completed a single spyro
I played that reimagined trilogy (the first time I played it), I really enjoyed it!
I do enjoy a good Spyro play. I used to play it all the time as a kid and my partner bought it for me again when it was reimagined for a Christmas gift!
