Hello

Penny

Hello. My name’s Penny, I’m diagnosed with ASD but it was when I was 4 and was called Asperger’s Syndrome then. Not a lot has changed since my diagnosis, I think things have gotten worse but then there is a lot of stress in my life and that leads to a lot of masking but I’m trying to mask less and cope with things better.

My fave thing is Harry Potter. I’m a huge Harry Potter fan! It’s my special interest. I love all the books and movies and own a lot of Harry Potter collectables. Also enjoy gaming and spend most of my time playing The Sims 4..

I’m trying to get through life as an autistic adult and taking each day as it comes.

Nice to meet you.

Best wishes,
Penny Two hearts

  • Welcome Penny! 

    My son (11) who's just diagnosed himself is the Harry Potter obsessed one in our house! I got him a whole bunch of stuff for his birthday this year including a scarf and butterbeer! Plus a few years ago we went on the Jacobite (the train in the films).

    We are also a gaming household, primarily Nintendo. I hardly seem to play much myself there day, but I've been watching both my kids playing bananaza lately. 

    Looking forward to your posts!

    Thank you Cinnabar_wing. Hello.

    Wow your son is so lucky to get all those nice things for his birthday. I have a scarf too, a Ravenclaw one which is gorgeous but I’ve never bought or been bought the butterbeer before. Totally jealous now lol. And the train as well, that’s amazing you are all so lucky haha. I’m hoping I’ll get to go on it one day.

    It must be nice having everyone in the household who’s into gaming. In my house it’s mostly just me and that’s fun but it can be a bit lonely. But Bananaza makes me forget the loneliness! I play a lot of Nintendo games I think they take some beating!

    Look forward to seeing you around.
