Hi

LaurenC

Hi I'm lauren. I have autism and am dyslexic.

I suffer so much with anxiety but I'm trying to get it sorted out.

I like singing, colouring, reading, watching Disney and playing games.

  • Welcome! Good to have you here.

    I love learning about wildlife (especially elephants) as well as medicine/biology. I also like books of various genres (e.g. fantasy, a few sci-fi elements, mystery, comedy and of course non-fiction about my favourite topics) and watching my favourite shows over and over again. 
    Additionally, I enjoy listening to and making music (e.g. in a choir, a band, by getting guitar and piano lessons and learning a bit about different instruments in general).

    Hi Emmaelphant, thank you it's good to be with other autistics rather than on my own all the time.

    I like wildlife as well. Growing up I watched a show called Deadly 60 nearly every day after school! It followed a naturalist-explorer who went around the world, studying wildlife and showing off some of the most deadliest ones. I used to love that show and happily watched it repeatedly. My dad even taped it on to a VHS tape for me so I could watch the episodes. I might even have that tape still.

    Have you ever read The Elephant’s Journey? It’s by an author called José Saramago, and it’s based on a true story which makes it even better in my opinion. He’s written a lot of books but this one is my fave by him. Highly recommended, if you haven’t read it already.

    I like singing and making music as well. Have you ever recorded any of your music? I've set up a little studio in my home, and I spend a lot of time in there making music.
