Hi

Hi I'm Berrybunny. I've been diagnosed with autism, adhd and generalised anxiety disorder for a couple of years.

I feel extremely isolated, I have no friends and when I tried to make friends online on social media but was bullied. I decided I would try an autistic community, so here I am.

I have lots of hobbies and interests, some of my favourites are drawing, photography, listening to music.

My special interest is rabbits!

  • Hi Berrybunny.

    Welcome to the forum. I have autism too.

    Sorry to hear that you got bullied. I was the same, when I tried to make friends on Discord, someone sent me a nasty message, it wasn't pleasant.

    I haven't done any drawing for a while but I like drawing cartoons e.g, Family Guy.

    Music is my all-time favourite thing! I love Sabrina Carpenter, I'm going to the Short n Sweet tour next Saturday, I think it'll be fun! I listened to Alessia Cara's new Love & Hyperbole album this week, it was absolutely fantastic!

    I love animals, especially cats. Rabbits are really cute. My mum had 2 rabbits when she was younger, called Bruno and Tyson. I have 2 dogs called Bella and Olly.

    Bye.

  • Haha, no we’re just a small school band covering some stuff. Calling ourselves 7Down. 
    I got over my extreme stage fright through band and choir and have been able to not only sing in a small ensemble and perform guitar solos, but also to sing a solo on stage while playing guitar. Wasn’t great, but I did it. Sorry you had such a bad experience… Fainting in public is always extra uncomfortable. 

    That’s cool, I also have a macro lense! I do use a program to manipulate light, shadow and tone of my pictures, but just so the motive is a bit more accentuated. I uploaded some of my favourite pictures on the creative thread. I’d love to see some of yours there as well!

  • Thank you - but I'm not trying to be nice with my compliments, I really do think that your drawing skills are great.  I hope to see you around for a while.

  • Yeah I've met some great peeps here already. Whats your band called? Will you be the next Big thign? I used to sing in a choir at my primary school, was fun until we had to do school shows in front of all the school and parents. Anxiety always made me faint.

    Was very embarrassing.

    I love elephants! I love every animal actually but I think elephants are interesting. I saw one once at the zoo it was an amazing experience. 

    I like close up photography, I got a special macro zoom lens for my digital camera so I could take them! My motive with photography is to capture natures ebauty. No effects on the pic, just natural nature. I love doing that.

    What about you? 

  • Hi number nice to meet you.

    You know its really nice to finally meet someone else who shares my love and appreciation of rabbits and animals alike!

    Most people just gives me a seriously look??? If more peeps spent more time with rabbits and got to know and appreciate them they would find a new fav animal.

    Can’t go wrong with animals-there the best!!!!!!

    The site-bugs were a little unsettling at first but I’m starting to get used to the not being able to send my posts thing-if it doesn’t send I leave it for some time then come back and do it later. As proven with this post that’s working for me.

    Thanks for nice compliments on my drawings Number. Your a nice person and its good to know you.

  • Mate!!!!....now you're talking!

    Firstly, can i tell you,very honestly that your drawings above are EXCELLENT.

    Secondly, you are one of the few people I have seen come here for over two years that obviously "gets it" regarding animals....and especially  rabbits.  They are gods of the animal kingdom....because of their wisdom and guile.  If you can earn the trust and respect of a rabbit, they will take care of you, like no other!

    It is great to have you here Berrybunny.  Unfortunately the forum is causing trouble and discord here at the moment, but I'm sure it will settle, so please don't be put off by weird shenanigans you might see pop up....or if your posts don't go through smoothly.

    You are very welcome here.

    Yours

    Number.

  • Thanks I'd love to.

    Sorry I missed your replys i wish I could filter them like new showign first.

  • So far I’ve had 3 rabbits as pets. My first were Sandy and Patches, Patches died after 2 years sadly she was ill a lot so maybe like an immune system problem I’m not sure.

    Sandy lived for just over 9 years. She was really old in the end, but she was still so full of life.

    She loved sitting on me on her cushion and she was so good, never started going crazy running around she just liked to sit in peace. It was like sitting with a dog or cat, I could read or watch something and she’d just be there nice and chilled out.

    My latest and current rabbit is Jess. Her fur is black and when she runs around her ears flop up and down its so cute.

    Sadly she doesn’t sit still like Sandy did so I can’t bring her in to sit with but when the weathers nice I can sit in the run in the garden with her. My dad calls her Madam because when she wants something she stamps her foot, like if I don’t give her a carrot she stamps her foot and then after she stops.

    I think rabbits are very wise, most people don’t think so but when you read up on them and have watched them for a long time you can see there very capable and clever animals.

    I have some drawings of rabbits here

     

    And heres a fox

     

    I could spend the rest of my life surrounded by animals and Id die happy. I like that peaceful calm aura they have about them.

  • Good peeps.  I'd be proud if I could get those on paper.

    If you are better at animals......then share some animals with us?!....if you want.....NO pressure whatsoever intended = this is just encouragement that your work above is decidedly worthy here!

    Do you have a house rabbit.....or at least a rabbit companion or two?  They are INCREDIBLY lovely souls!  MUCH wiser and MUCH brighter than most people ascribe to them.  Like you, I think that rabbits ROCK!

  • Hello! Good to have you here! There are lots of great people on here. Music (though mainly making music by playing instruments on my own or in my band or singing in my choir or ensemble) is also one of my interests. I also love almost everything medicine and biology-related, especially genetics and general wildlife, although I’m a huge elephant and whale fan. Photography is great as well, I like taking extreme close-ups of plants (got a great lens for that) and taking photos of my dog.

    Do you have a favourite motive when taking pictures?

  • I often play Sims 4 - I particularly like the building element. My favourite games also include some of the Assassin's creed games, Fallout 4 and Hogwarts Legacy. I also have Pure Chess as I like to play chess against the AI (although I'm not very good) and recently I've played Lego Star Wars, Lego Harry Potter and Cluedo.

  • The drawings look good to me, I've not done any drawing for I don't know how long, maybe 30 years lol

    I like Andre Bocelli, I tend to like individual pieces, things like 1812 overture, night on a bare mountain, canon, pavane to pick a few out

  • Aw you should stick with it.

    Practice makes better-I keep telling myself that.

    I've been working on drawing peeps

    Not the best but I'm improving slowly. I'm better at drawing animals tbf.

    What classic music do you like? I love Katherine Jenkins and Andre Bocelli.

  • No I dont' do Art any more, I don't think I am good enough and would get frustrated/annoyed with my efforts. I like all kinds of music really, from classical through to pop music.

  • Thanks Spikeymark! I've felt nothing but welcome since I joined first thing.

    That explains it. I haven't been blocked but I've had problems sending messages, the reply button doesn't work some times, and I have to leave it for a bit and try later. Same thing just happened replying to you but it worked straight away with my reply to Lotus.
