Hi everyone! I am a late diagnosed Autistic woman (diagnosed nearly a year ago now). I just wanted to introduce myself! My interests are reading, crochet and cats!
theyre also very good at explaining things in a way you dont really often have to rewind back on!
Oh I also used that coaster pattern to make one for my sister! I really like her patterns they're very easy to follow
I love tadc! ragatha is totally my fave alongside pomni, i did love the finale and wish they filled more of the plotholes in but otherwise it was awesome to see in a cinema! also you follow vivcrochets patterns too? awesome! i love their flower boquet coaster tutorial and have made multiple bigger versions of it for plates and such for friends! i also make and sell on vinted though, i make keychains, purses/pouches and other small goodies!
I learned to knit when I was small, but o my learned to crochet just before covid, it took me quite a while to pick it up and I couldnt get it from a book, I had a couple of lessons at my local wool shop. Now though I would say crochet is easier.
I also want to learn how to knit would you say it's more difficult than crochet?
I have been lucky so far with people I have told my diagnosis to, but I have been cautious who I tell, only a handful of people know.
I like to crochet blankets, or amigurumi animals. I make all sorts of things, I also knit, made myself a jumper in the spring, waiting for it to get cool enough to start wearing it. I hope you like it here
Hi I've been making and selling these fingerless heart gloves (the pattern is from Vivcrochets) on Etsy amongst other things (like keychains, jewellery holders etc) What about you? Also do you also like TADC? Ragatha is my favourite character! What did you think of the finale?
Thank you! (And tell your cat I said hi!)
HiHufflepuff and welcome.
I like reading and I have a cat called Monty.
I hope you stick around and enjoy chatting with us.
I was a big Harry Potter fan growing up (not so much anymore I sort of grew out of it) but it was one of the series that got me into reading. If you don't mind me asking how long ago did you get diagnosed and how are you finding it?
A Harry Potter fan by chance? I am a reader too. Not a big on crocheting and cats freak me out a little. I'm a late diagnosed autistic woman too.
Hi Hufflepuff
To introduce myself back: I am a late diagnosed Autistic man (diagnosed about 3 1/2 years ago). All sorts of things interest me - tho's crochet and cats aren't too high up my list. That said I too especially enjoy reading - Just finished "The 100 year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared" which I thought was so fab I had problems putting it down to get onto other stuff!
Hi thank you! That's nice that your nan taught you! I'm self taught but my grandma also liked to crochet too. How have you been finding this forum so far?
Hi honestly I was really happy when I got my diagnosis it explained a lot. Unfortunately some of my friends weren't very understanding at first but they are now thankfully.
What sort of things do you like to crochet? I prefer smaller projects like hats, gloves, coasters, decor.
Hi Hufflepuff.
i also have the same interests as you. I have lost my crochet mojo recently but hoping it returns soon, perhaps when the weather cools down. How are you finding having your diagnosis?
Hello Hufflepuff and welcome.
I am newly diagnosed and new to this site too. I find it a great place to visit, with lots of information and very understaning and supportive people.
I hope you enjoy your time here.
My Nan taught me to crochet over 60 years ago and I still occasionally dabble.
