Hi

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.

Thanks for the recommendation, I‘ll look into it!

I recorded a few songs via midi, but only for myself, family or close friends. What kind of music do you like and make? Do you just record for yourself or do you publish some of it?

That is such a great idea and an incredibly sweet thing to do. That is one lucky girl!

You are welcome, I hope you enjoy it.

That's so nice. You should share it with somebody, get some feedback and see what they think. I did that with my mum, and I got a lot more positive a response than I thought. I like writing and making songs about personal things I've experienced, like being different.

I've only properly recorded one song, and it's a children's song for my little girl lol. She struggles to sleep and worries about the dark so I sang her this song about dreaming and sunny things and it worked so well I decided to record myself and put it on a CD for her. It worked, she drops off quickly and sleeps soundly most of the time.
