Hello!

Greetings! My name is Wally, I'm a 29 year old man just diagnosed with ASD after spending my life so far not fitting in and not knowing why. I've always been different and I always assumed it was because I was weird. I probably am still weird, but, at least now I know there's some autism in there too!

I work as a monumental mason (I make and repair gravestones), which is a family business that I can do from home, thankfully. However my special interest is everything to do with nature and wildlife. I could and have talked the hind and front legs off a donkey talking about nature and wildlife! Please excuse my quirkiness, I mean no harm. I like to keep busy with Warhammer, something I've done since my teens.

And I love to do basketball, solo, alas, but still a fun and healthy activity to do.

I really hope this can be a place where I can be myself and finally fit in.

  • Hey, Wally. I'm John - Nice to chat with you and welcome. Ohhh, basketball! I played as a teen for Edinburgh kings, im now 38 ..... and now feel really sad ...

    I know what you mean about fitting in, truth is, I just try and be more my real self now, and if people dont like it, then I don't care as much anymore ... ill not think about it 24/7 ... OK, maybe 23/7 ... but I dont care ... honest. Laughing
