Hello

Hello everyone. My name is April and I'm autistic. I was diagnosed when I was 10 which wasn't that long ago but somehow it feels like it's been 50 years lol. I'm 21 now and my life feels so crazy it's hard to function at times! I'm working on self care as my anxiety can be overwhelming and I mask so much I'm trying not to do that either. I work just about lol but in my free time I enjoy being creative and watching fun films.

I'm autistic, a little eccentric and quirky; and hopefully always nice.

:)

  • Good morning from America, Aprilia!

    That’s great that you are prioritizing self-care. Always remember that you can’t help others if you can’t help yourself first.

    What kind of creative ventures do you make?

  • Good afternoon from the United Kingdom! SmileyWhat's it like in America weather-wise today? In the UK, London, it's dry at the moment but cloudy here.

    Thank you. That's really good advice!

    I like to make my own clothes things like scarfs and socks. My granny taught me to do this, so I'm currently working on an Xmas scarf for my mum this year. I also like making my own cards and this year another small project maybe, I want to try and make an Xmas wreathe. I saw a course on Youtube so it's something I'm thinking of doing.

    What have you been doing lately? Anything exciting?

  • Weather in the Midwest has been cold! We had a pretty slick snowstorm last Sunday, so it looks like autumn’s already over for us, unfortunately.

    That’s awesome that you can make clothes! I can imagine that’s some great gifts that you can give. I like to write music and stories in my free time, but usually it’s all just for my own enjoyment. I think my wife made a Christmas wreathe a few years ago and she really enjoyed doing it.

    I haven’t been up to a whole lot of exciting things lately, except about a month ago I finished writing a book trilogy lol. No idea what I’m going to do with that, though.

  • Gotcha! Well this might sound silly but you may have seen more of the US than I have lol. I’ve been all over the Midwest and eastern side, but still haven’t ventured very far west. It’d be cool to see Hawaii and Alaska someday.

  • I am not in the US, although I work for a publicly listed American company, I worked for Motorola a long time ago too. I visited the Chicago area quite a few times. I have been to the US about 30-40 times I think. I've been to a good number of national parks.

    I've also been to Hawaii a couple of times and 6 islands. Their flag has the union jack in the corner, from before the US annexed them.

    The silver sword only grows on Haleakala. Seeing sunset from above the clouds on mauna kea was cool.

  • I didn’t realize you’ve spent time in the US, Stuart! Do you mind me asking if you’re still in the States or if you’re from over here?
