Hello

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

  • Hello and welcome! I don’t watch too many films but I’ve been interested in the Harry Potter films as everyone seems to rave over them and tell me I’m missing out. I have also been playing sims 4 lately but im still quite new to it. I do have some expansion packs though and treated myself to the SpongeBob one at the weekend. I’m more of a Nintendo gamer myself. 

  • Hello and thank you. I hope you enjoy Harry Potter when you get to see them. I’d recommend checking out the books as well, I think they are the best personally. You can now get illustrated versions which I’ve been steadily trying to collect. The Sims 4 is great. I’ve put in so many hours on those games.. I just bought the Spongebob kit pack as well. Have you tried it yet? I think it’s so cute having Spongebob furniture and items in my Sims game. I love Spongebob! Omg I think it’s an amazing show and I still love it now as much as I did when I was a kid.

    What Nintendo games do you like playing? I like playing the Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Splatoon and lately I’ve played a lot of Donkey Kong Bananza.

  • I will defo look into Harry Potter at some point, the books might also explain things as well, though I’m not the biggest reader lol! I’m also loving the sims 4, I actually have about 7 expansions (got a few whilst they were on offer) which I have been loving! I haven’t tried the SpongeBob pack out yet but I will defo play with it soon, I can’t wait to have a SpongeBob themed house lol! I am also a big SpongeBob fan, I like to watch the seasons so much and so excited for the new movie coming out soon! I haven’t watched on paramount lately because of these annoying ads despite paying for no ads.

    As for games I love anything to do with Yoshi, Kirby, Mario and animal crossing! Currently playing paper Mario ttyd, also been playing Mario kart world and Kirby air riders which I have been loving too! 

  • Ah I hope your adhd assessment goes well, I actually had one last year but I had it ruled out for now but there is a chance I could develop it later on in life as I do have quite a few symptoms. My assessment seemed to be more based on when I was a child though but again I didn’t show enough symptoms and I still do hence it’s been ruled out for me. I might try and get another assessment though if I’m lucky enough to get on the nhs again. Are you with psych uk at all? 

    Omg loving the pics of the SpongeBob sims 4 themes! I will no doubt have a play on mine later and maybe try and send pics too lol! They have done a brilliant job with the SpongeBob expansion by the looks of things as when I first saw the pics I actually thought it was from the SpongeBob show lol! Love your sim too! She looks so nice! I haven’t done any saves on my sims yet as I’m never happy with what I’ve done lol! Yeah I got the Black Friday sale and the expansions were more than half price so I treated myself to a couple and my mum got me some for my birthday as well! I also have seasons and love the snow in the game.

    I think the SpongeBob seasons might be on dvd in America but not sure about uk though. Also on paramount we only have a few from the seasons 14-16. Also they removed the one with Gary in the race and mr krabs feels old (probably due to lack of political correctness at the time). Ahh I love the sponge on the run as well and I can’t wait for the new movie to come out! 

    Mario kart and galaxy are great games! I am such a huge fan of Yoshi he is like my all time favourite character! I play him on smash, party, Olympics you name it lol! I will actually go through all the different colours as well and try and keep them evenly played but I have taken a shine to aristocrat Yoshi in mk world! He reminds my parents of someone of Downton Abbey or something lol! 

    Omg I love animal crossing! I’ve actually started a new island recently. I ended up losing my old island as when I went to reset paper Mario origami king data, I deleted crossing instead of origami as the pics looked similar when smaller ha! Why do some games not have save files and therefore have to go into settings to restart everything?

  • Yay! Another Harry Potter fan in the making.. funny enough I’m not a big reader either. I mean I own a lot of books but probably only read like 8% of my collection. I struggle with remembering character’s names, and places in books, to do with ADHD possibly so I’ve been told.

    Currently going through potential diagnosis for ADHD. Bit stressful but it’d be nice to know.

    Sims 4 is so much fun, it’s nice to see so many people here play it too. I’m literally the only person I know who plays it lol. 7 expansions is a lot. I think I own 4 or 5 maybe, I own more game packs and most of the stuff packs. I did get the horses pack and I’ve got seasons because I love having winter and fall in my games.

    The Spongebob kit makes the houses look so cute.

      

     Hope these images appear it was erroring out with the size dimensions!

    If I could I’d do this in real life lol.

    Omg me too. I like watching the seasons but it’s a shame you can’t get them all on dvd. I would happily pay for the whole dvd box set if one’s ever released, in the meantime I watch them on Sky. I watched the Sponge on the Run movie on Netflix last weekend and it was so good.

    Mario Kart is a great game series. I haven’t played for a while but I’ll be getting back to it again soon. I also like the Super Mario Galaxy games, I think they are mega fun.. Yoshi is really cute. I wish you could get a pet Yoshi in real life that would be fab lol.

    I’m also a big fan of Animal Crossing.
