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.

  • Hi and welcome to the community. I'm a woman in my mid sixties and retired, and I enjoy reading and playing video games.

    Thank you so much for the kind welcome!

    What do you enjoy reading if I may ask? I was always a huge fan of books like watership down, traveller and the animals of farthing wood. Just some animal perspectives I absolutely loved in fiction but I do enjoy books about mythology and tales from around the world too!

    I love video games too! My favourites ae so mixed but I love cozy games, and the odd pvp games. I really enjoy survival and simulation games too. Things like Minecraft, stardew valley, animal crossing, pokemon, overwatch 2, medieval dynasty, genshin impact I have lists and lists I love. What do you enjoy playing?

    I like reading lots of genres - including sci-fi, fantasy, time travel, thrillers, comedies, and occasionally romantic or historical novels. As a child I enjoyed reading Black Beauty which was from the perspective of a horse, but I can't think of any other stories from an animal perspective that I've read. I also particularly enjoyed Alice through the looking glass and the Chronicles of Narnia when I was young.

    My favourite games include Fallout 4, Sims 4, Assassins Creed Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla & Shadows, Hogwarts Legacy, and BioShock 1&2. I also have Chess and Cluedo on my XBox which I play occasionally.
