Hi everyone,
We thought we'd create a discussion where people can say hello and introduce themselves.
You don't have to say something here but it'd be nice to get a chance to say hello
Please remember that you should not share personal details (such as emails or phone numbers) to protect your privacy.
And don't feel you have to introduce yourself, it's entirely up to you and please only share what you're comfortable with.
Hello all!
Like others have said before, I'm really pleased to see this community finally open and getting off the ground.
I'm a 26 year old female with DXed* AS, dyspraxia, SAD and sensory integration dysfunction, finally living away from home with my partner :) It's been a long haul, but I'm finally pretty much independant and trying to find a job (that is hard!).
I'm really into computers, music, debate, news, reading, writing, creating and video games (my username is a nod to a character in my favourite game series - Miles 'Tails' Prower from Sonic the Hedgehog.) I collect stuff and am pretty well known in certain video game circles due to my level of obsession. Maybe I'll meet some equally obsessive kindred spirits here!
Due to all of my experiences regarding schooling, health, DXes, statementing, living independantly etc, I would love to chat with others and exchange stories, advice, recommendations etc. I really hope this forum will go places!
*I am not sure how many of the diagnoses I agree fully with, but I'm certainly somewhere on the spectrum :)
