Newbie …super scared but figured I'd press send & see what happens. Hello x

My names Joey. Mads is my cat. 

I was diagnosed with ASD last month aged 40 (after 20+yrs of diagnosis & misdiagnosis). 

I love rescue animals, komodo dragons, needle felting, houseplants, skate trainers, photography, cycling, inline skating, reading private eye & listening to LBC.

Scared to do this but hopeful to chat to people who get it and can help a little.

Thank you.

  • Hi Joey/Mads, welcome to the community!

    You have a lot of very cool interest, like komodo dragons (they are so crazy aren't they, gigantic deadly and venemous). I listen to some LBC, though currently it's mostly just mystery hour with James O'Brien on a Thursday lunchtime! 

  • Hey yourself! 

    After writing them down they are eclectic to say the very least. The dragons are what seem like our last nod to the prehistoric.

    Mystery hour is brilliant, I want to ask where squirrels live? I get chipmunks live underground but squirrels I've always wondered?! 

    My spelling and grammar is pants but after saving for a diagnosis I've run out of cash so it is what it is lol 

    Thx for the welcome. Take it easy. 

  • Yeah, it's fun to think up questions for Mystery hour, I've never tried calling in though! I got my husband the mystery hour board game for Christmas-I got the travel addition as the board game cupboard is overflowing so the smaller box was welcome! (Plus it's a lot cheaper!)

    It's a lot of fun, it gives weird questions and multiple choice answers -some answers are so surprising! It's just like listening to the show.

    Yes I like the prehistoric, I was big into dinosaurs as a kid so the interest is still there in the background. 

    Don't worry about spelling/grammar - I'm always spelling things wrong or re-reading posts and realising they don't make sense or I've over-shared. No one really minds!

  • You should give yourself, 'a round of applause'

    Lol, for ages I didn't know what a 'raileeotar' was when I first heard one, took me a bit to work out it's 'Ray Liotta'! The game is good fun!

    I can remember making a T-Rex as a kid that I swear was glow in the dark from a set of magazines.

    I actually think that was real! I didn't get it but I remember seeing the advert and thinking, wow that would be awesome...


    I've gone and researched it and yes, the magazine was by Orbis called 'Dinsosaurs!', the first issue you got 3d glass and the head, I remember them, so maybe I did get it! Said it was 1992, I would have been 8 so would have been height of my dinosaur fixation. Seeing that's given me some joy!

    I'm going to order the travel version to play with family as we always listen when we can. Its nice to get an hours break from the daily news and current affairs cycle. 

    I agree with a background interest into the Dino's. I can remember making a T-Rex as a kid that I swear was glow in the dark from a set of magazines. However that could quite possibly have been dream after watching Jurassic Park?!

    Enjoy the game and ill be listening Thurs at 12:00.

    Joey.
