Introduction

Hello all,

Very recently diagnosed ASD, and last year with ADHD. Was signposted to the society for the community support aspect, though granted I don't see any local F2F groups listed and I'm not great at making F2F regardless, so online community here I am.

Male, 30. 

My life at the moment is teacher training for secondary maths, trying to fit my own study in around that, any other interests and then friends and family. Think I've been a bit burned out recently as nearing the end of first school placement now. Been finding myself playing a fair bit of league of legends, steel division 2 and world of tanks recently when I get the chance recently; or just finding documentaries on YouTube to watch in bed.

That's my life summed up most recently. Am putting together a more general and comprehenseive self-description on my profile.

Last thing I can think of to say is that the profile name is because I'm rather fond of the number 29 (was born on the 29th of my birth month), it is both an odd and prime number, and I think the  profile name has a pleasant rhyme to it written as it is.

Hope you're all well, and best wishes

  • Good morning from America, OddPrime29!

    I’m a male 34. I taught music for 10 years before needing to change to a new profession, so I can understand how easy it is to get burned out in the education field. Take care of yourself, not just the kids you’re teaching.

    I’ve been playing a lot of Fortnite with my friends recently, Smash Bros / Mario Kart 8 with my kids, and I’ve been dabbling with a little Bloodborne and Street Fighter 6 on my own. Do you play League, Steel Division, and World of Tanks by yourself or with friends you know?

  • Hi Profdanger!

    Oh yeah I see you're working as an employment specialist for people with disabilities now. How are you finding it in comparison?

    I'm finding the academic aspect okay, but the social side inc. behaviour management is my weakest area and the bit I find most exhausting at the moment, alongside the forms to be filled. Next week's a holiday week though so can stay indoors then.

    That's nice have played a bit of Fortnite before, and similarly some Warzone. Play league with a friend sometimes though still quite a lot by myself, and the other two I play solo. Any upcoming games you're looking forward to being released?

    Best wishes
