Hi, I'm new :)

Hello everyone, 

I'm new to the forum and am here to introduce myself, just call me by my username :) I'm in my early 20s and got my autism diagnosis when I was in primary school, but I've always been ashamed of it up until recently. I've only just opened up to the idea of accepting help and support from others, as well as using regulation tools such as stress toys and listening to music, etc. I struggle with my mental health a lot, but I'm hoping that being able to talk with people who share my diagnosis will help me :)

I'm currently studying film production, I enjoy working on creative projects and writing stories, but I'm kind of terrible at writing at the moment. I'm trying to improve my writing skills so I can start finally putting my ideas on paper. I do a lot of gaming in my free time, usually I'll go for the management/tycoon type games as well as simulator games. I'm currently playing a lot of Planet Coaster, but I love taking inspiration from story/narrative games too, I'm doing my first play through of Assassin's Creed 2 at the moment. 

Looking forward to speaking with the community and getting to know everyone :)
