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 to the forum, i wish you best here!

    Vielen Dank für das willkommen!

    I am so excited to meet someone who has passed the B2 exam! And to have lived there for 6 years sounds absolutely amazing! 

    I have to say I’m so surprised that I can read so much and understand everything said without looking it up so that is such a happy note for me! I just need to get more confident putting my response in Deutsch I find the reading van be easier than forming a sentence if that makes sense?

    I would love to travel to Deutschland one day soon to explore some of the culture and see some of the beautiful places I have  seen via photos!  And the reason I love the language is actually because I loved leading it at high school way back when and decided about 5 years back to try to keep my mind active by learning a second language. I tired multiple including Swedish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Dutch, French, Spanish, Romanian, Hungarian, Italian and I finally decided that whil I was super interested in all of the languages I tried nothing quite felt as right as German did.

    Ich wohne in einer kleinen Stadt in Ostdeutschland, es gefällt mir sehr, es ist ruhig und gemütlich. Im Sommer haben wir ganz viele Touristen. Deutsch gefällt mir, aber war niemals mein Interesse. Sprachen lernen fällt mir leicht, aber trotzdem bin ich immer die fremde und nicht angepasste.
