Introducing myself

Starscream84

Hello,

I was diagnosed yesterday (40’s male ASD) and it’s already been good to see posts here from people whose stories I feel I can begin to identify a bit with (never feeling like a proper adult, having had breakdowns, anxiety and depression, not quite sure how to process having a diagnosis, etc). 

I appreciate there being this forum to say and hear experiences as part of trying to understand myself. 

THank you Slight smile

  • Hey, welcome!

    I've read the entire thread and we have a lot of common interests, what book are you reading at the moment?

    Just finished A Song of Ice and Fire, now reading Mordew and Prince of Thorns and listening to Wheel of Time book 1. 

    how about you?

    Recently finished re-reading The Witcher series. Now onto "The Early History of Rome" by Livy.

    Thanks for the info. I’ll add Livy to my list.

    Glad to hear, I'm sure you'll enjoy The Witcher if you like fantasy. This is the first book I've actually read on the topic of the Roman Empire (or Republic, rather), and I'm really enjoying it so far. I've seen reviews that complain that it gets very repetitive (e.g. so-and-so becomes consul, they do this, and then die)... but I haven't found it to be like that, and I'm definitely enjoying it. I'll have to check out Josephus at some point.

    Excellent. The Witcher books are definitely on my list. Are you finding the Livy enjoyable? I’ve read some Josephus from towards the end of Roman Empire.
