Bagel's hello!

BagelSticks

Hello, Im Bagel or Nik. I have known for a while I was autistic but officially heard it all when I was 19. 

I always thought I had good social skills, I still think I do but the way I approach it is much different I realised. And I also realise I may not be as good at it as I thought I was. And I want to learn to do better and be better. Or I guess how to navigate this all.

I struggle accepting it at times but autism has affected me and ao many aspects so much that I really need to work on it and understanding it ahaha. Hence I am here. I want to learn and share my experiences etc with others in similar situations. Maybe get advice on how to navigate certain things.

I am not sure what else to really say but since this is for introductions I want to introduce myself more "properly" so.. 

I am a big gamer, I found games to be a great escape as well as just something I can truly always enjoy and something I like to think I'm good at. I also love maths and as silly as it may sound I love dinosaurs and anything paleontology related!

And yeah..thats pretty much me!

  • Hi, . Welcome to the forum. Slight smile

    You must share some tips on those social skills of yours with us. You're probably ahead of many of us in that department!

    I'm a fan of the old maths, too, though I don't do much by way of actual practice. I like knowing about the various principles and applications. I'm currently reading, "Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Maths Behind Modern AI" by Anil Ananthaswamy. It's a bit dense, but I'm learning lots.

    Paleontology is also something I'm interested in. My favourite recent book on the subject was "The Rise and Reign of the Mammals" by Steve Brusatte. It's amazing what a single tooth can tell you about an animal.

    Hello! Thank you.
    Honestly my social skills just invole long checklists in my head, it can be tedious but it works most of the time! ahaha

    I love maths for similar reasons, I like knowing how it works, the principles etc, I find it very satisfying. But doing maths also is something I found that calms me down when needed. I have not read that but it sounds interesting! Would you recommend it?

    I have read the paleontolgy book! It is truly an amazing one.

    What else do you enjoy? If i may ask
