Hello

Roxy

Hello!

My name is Roxy. I'm rubbish at interacting with people and terrible at introductions so I'll just say I'm autistic, I like watching animations and comedy films, I'm a big fan of Harry Potter and I'm interested in the human body and health and diseases - oh, and I have a full-size skeleton called Cedric who stands and watches over me at night.
He also scares kids at Halloween.

  • Welcome Roxy and loving the guardian skeleton Cedric

  • Hi and welcome to the community

    Unfortunately I've commitments which mean I do use social media but I really wish I didn't regularly.  

    I find most people here to be agreeable. It is community of sorts - so not everyone will get on all of the time - but you can be more selective. 

  • Hi and welcome to the community! Slight smile

    Thanks. True, he has a lot of history about him so maybe that will make a cool topic of discussion at some point.

    Definitely a special interest, for me at least.

    I'm hoping it will be good here. I tried mainstream socials once but those sites weren't for me, I think an autistic community will be a lot better.

    Happy Monday.

  • Welcome to the forum.

    You say you're rubbish at interacting with people, but I've never read an introduction featuring a skeleton called Cedric before, and that makes something to talk about....

    A NT might call it small-talk.  A ND person would probably call it a special interest.   There's the difference.

    I hope you find your time here inspirational & enjoyable.
