Hello from Cornwall

BlueKingfisher

I'm an autistic adult from Cornwall. I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD at 13, although it wasn't until my mid twenties that I really began to understand and accept what that meant. Looking back, so many things suddenly made sense.

Since then I've been trying to learn as much as I can about autism, not just through books and articles, but by hearing about other people's experiences too. It's reassuring to realise that many of the things I've struggled with aren't just "me being odd", but experiences shared by others.

Outside of autism, I enjoy wildlife, photography, spending time in nature, and generally finding quieter places away from the noise. I also enjoy thoughtful conversations and learning from different perspectives.

  • Hello, 

    Let me be the first to welcome you. You will find so much first-hand knowledge and experience on this site. I have have found many kindred spirits although we are all different in our autism. 

    Cornwall is my dream place. One of my few holidays was on the Lizard; where everything seemed to be "green, blue and gold".  Happily, I can still feel the buzz of all decades later.

    Thanks, Oscar. That's a lovely welcome.

    The Lizard really is a special place. "Green, blue and gold" describes it perfectly. It's one of those places I always find calming.

    I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here.
