Hello everyone

Lozza

Hi everyone,

My name is Lauren I’m new to joining and I’m kind of nervous.

I’m 32 and I received an Autism diagnosis at the age of 30. I have never really been good at fitting in with people due to issues with understanding how Autism presents in friendships but I want to meet people who may understand that I am just myself. I have tried to fit into online communities in past but never found one where I was able to stay comfortable without judgement or bullying and I’m hoping by joining I will find a way to take off some of the loneliness.

I have interests in various things including digital art (my pfp is one I drew myself) learning languages (in particular German), video games, walking in forests and nature and watching documentaries on many different topics (animals and wildlife in particular). 

I work a shop job which I really like because they have been very supportive with any difficulty I have. It’s not a lot but it’s something I enjoy to help people who come in to the store and get to talk to them. I’m hoping here I will find peace and people to connect with.

  • Welcome  !

    There is a creative space thread if you want to post anymore of your digital artwork, (I love doing art but don't have a lot of if time these days), lots of threads on video games, and feel free to start more nature ones, I'm a big nature documentary fan (was just watching one last night).

    Hope you can settle in!

    Thank you for the warm and enthusiastic welcome! I am excited to share art and get to talk more with everyone! I hope you’ll get a chance to do art soon! Which documentary did you see?

    I was catching up with Kingdoms, the one following 4 different predator families. I enjoyed the close look at their behaviour, but got a bit frustrated that it didn't mention the other species on screen as I like to know all of that too. 

    They did mention genets and I ended up researching them when I should have been going to bed. Like a large spotted genet was recorded on a camera trap in 2014 riding on the back of two different buffalo and a rhinoceros. The first recorded hitchhiking of the species.
