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!

    I enjoyed it.  It is not a large exhibition, however, they have chosen a really muted lighting scheme in that area (which suits me).

    I liked several other areas of the wider museum too.

    Something else handy to know; if you are travelling with someone who is not in love with natural history - the museum next door (you literally walk through a connecting door) might be more their scene - Pitt Rivers Museum - collections include: archaeological and ethnographic objects from all parts of the world. 

    The General Pitt Rivers's founding gift contained more than 26,000 objects, but there are now over half a million.

    The extensive photographic and sound archives contain early records of great importance.

    Nearby is a well respected art, sculpture and archaeology museum too - The Ashmolean Museum:
