Owlie

Hiya, I go by owlie,

Found this forum a few years ago, waited till I was about 20 to give it a go officially, but seeing some of the older folkes are on here, I feel a little out of place Sweat smile.

I got diagnosed with ASD when I was a teen, had a few issues here and there, now I'm in higher education studying computer science.

I'm not exactly sure what I can use this forum for? I have posted something in the past 24 hours, but no idea if it's in the right category.

Anyhow, nice to meet you all Wave

  • Welcome Owlie, I wouldn't worry too much about which age groups here.  Speaking for myself; the age on my ID means little when it comes to my interests and outlooks. 

    It really annoys me (in the real World) when people ask me how old is so-and-so - as I rarely judge people by their "age" - I am more likely to know lots of other things, beside their age group, about someone.

    You can use this forum how you choose - different ways at different times - reflecting both life's fun and frustrations.

    I don't read posts particularly worrying whether they are in the "correct" category - so I wouldn't be too concerned on that front either.

    How are you finding your experience of higher education studying computer science?  When I studied likewise; I found the tutors were generally really encouraging towards me as a student - as they were supportive of promoting diversity within that sector (at the time, for example, only about 4 to 6 % of the computer departments in the workplace were women).
