I'm 21 and this is quite new for me

Hello everyone! I'm Damon.

I was diagnosed with Inattentive type ADHD in early 2025, started taking medication for it, and through that discovered I was also Autistic (which, now, after reading the lived experience of a lot of other AuDHDers, it makes a lot of sense). It's been a pretty interesting and difficult journey so far, and it is nowhere near over yet. I also live with Dyspraxia and Cerebral Palsy

I am currently pursuing my Undergraduate degree in Psychology and, alongside that, working towards my qualification in counselling. I love to write creatively in various formats. I am passionate about film and TV, and I aspire to work as a writer-director one day. I'm a huge Rock fan, spanning many different sub-genres; however, my favourites have to be Post-punk/Goth.
