What's in a name...

Goosey - What began your love of gooses, *geese* I mean?

Yes - tell us what sparkly stuff you like, we need to know

What kind of sparkly things do you like?

Funny! What a predictable autistic literal answer!

I love our autistic literal thinking, it makes conversations so much more humorous!

That’s great! It’s good that you already feel you are proud of your autistic identity.

I hope the assessment goes well and you receive the autistic identification you deserve and need!

Good luck!

Roy, I don't think being named after Roy Orbison is boring at all! I've listened to his music many times and think he was pretty awesome- what a voice! What range!

I was named after my great-grandmother, a plain and simple name - not nearly so exciting! 

whats in a name?

letters are in a name!

Sorry Blueberry, I misunderstood.

Sparkly because I like sparkly things. 

I like all the usernames here :-) 

My dad is the only one who calls me Goosey at home my mum uses my name and nearly everyone from my MH team shortens my name *shudders*

Yeah, people shorten my name too, but here at home we have nicknames, and hardly ever use our true names, as neither of us is best pleased! We have some fab nicknames though.

Mine is difficult to shorten! 

That sounds very frustrating for you!

I find saying some names really difficult but luckily my first name is really easy to say

Though people do shorten it a lot of the time which can be annoying lol :/ 

I hate my real name! Before I got married I have a christian name and surname that everyone spells totally wrong, now, my married name - everyone gets both wrong again, I spent my whole life having to correct it all the time with idiots who can't be bothered to listen! Even after I tell them and spell it they still write it down wrong right there in front of me! At which point I just leave it wrong!

Your username reminds me of a road where I might be going to live it's called Blueberry Road ^^ 

My username comes from my love and fascination of geese! :—) 

Goosey has been a nickname that my dad gave me and still uses now lol. He calls me Goosey more than my real name

I am thankful every day that I am not a boy. My parents are Welsh and were apparently going to name me Caradoc Llewellyn...

I have my first autism assessment on Tuesday. I'm actually really hoping that they agree that I am autistic as it would explain a lot. And yes, I will be proud

Yes, autism. I'm new to the concept of being autistic. I know I have always been (very) different but I thought it was just me being me and weird.

The internet's favourite word.

Was it autism you meant Blueberry, it wasn't pride I don't think...
