About yourself.

Hi everyone hope you are all doing good today, just a fun little thing i thought about doing.

You write about yourself like what you are interested in and your hobbies, interests and such.
just a fun little thing i thought we could do to get to know everyone a bit. :)


My name is Tom, i'm from South Wales, UK. i have a small Jack Russel, Staffordshire bull terrier mix who is 8 years old, i am fan of football ( Chelsea fan), darts and gaming.

i am also a type 2 diabetic since 2007. :)
 
I'm a just turned 42 year old Aspie, from Sheffield, England, I have no pets (Housing has a "No pets" policy) and hate football (footballers get paid far too much IMO) and am a BIG Xbox and Android gamer.
 
39yo Aspie from Tacoma, WA. Currently making an attempt to completely divorce myself from Internet political talk, as of a week ago. Love both Xbox and PlayStation. Stoner with a taste for indica. Enjoys spicy Thai and Indian food. Also enjoys horror movies, anime and Vocaloid YouTube videos.
 
Hmmm. 46 years old and I talk about my two bunnies far too much. But they are really sweet and friendly and cuddly so I can't seem to help myself. Lately I have been interested in making life less complicated by simplifying my clothes and meal planning. I just checked my new fruit trees and strawberry plants and they all look good despite the up and down temperatures. And...hmmm I do a lot of mixed media art, still read Far Side comics, and forget to water my 40+ house plants.
 
Uh. I am 22 years old and live in Boise, Idaho. I have a service dog named Sabella, a cat named Moonlight, and a fish named Pierce. I have found that I love being creative and doing sewing when I have time is wonderful. I also love to garden during the summer months. I also enjoy being alone with some human contact. I have social anxiety that gets in the way at times. I love movies, especially Disney. Coloring and drawing are also things I do. And I have said far too much now, so I will stop.
 
I was 60 this year have a cat who's super cute, I like to try to get stuff to grow in my garden with mixed success, but so cold this spring I havent got out there yet. I currently work full time.

Im luckily for me not really anxious at all, but I really only enjoy social situations that have some other point to them, like classes or training. It's taking a lifetime to understand myself or others but it's an interesting journey.
 
I'm from 35 from Newfoundland, Canada. I have 2 pugs. I like watching sports, spending time on computer and advocating for others with disabilities.
 
48 years old. I was told I'm autistic by a counselor, but he hasn't written up a formal diagnosis yet.

I'm a programmer, but math is my biggest passion. When I can't do math at work, I always have some little math problem I'm working on at home. I lull myself to sleep at night with math.

I like nonsensical, fun poetry - Dr. Seuss, Lewis Carroll, Dorothy Parker, Ogden Nash, Gelett Burgess, etc. I write some of my own, and hope to get it published some day. I read poems to my children at bedtime.

I like almost every activity where I get to make something - building stuff in the yard (sheds, patio coverings, play sets, garden boxes, etc). I have a long-running tradition that every summer, I build at least one new thing.

Inside, I like build Metal Earth models. I don't really care what the model is of - I just like building them.

Give me any stupid little thing and I'll start exploring all the variations of what I can do with it. I build tons of different shapes with popsicle sticks, buckyball magnets, straws - whatever I can get my hands on.

I like to read science fiction and watch SF / fantasy / comic-based movies, but I try to limit my reading and screen time because when I am consuming, I'm not creating.
 
I'm a 24 year old woman with PDD-NOS from New Jersey, USA. I enjoy collecting postcards, playing word games, and doing art. I'm just starting a e-commerce business. I have a wonderful dog named Lilly.
 
Ok keeping this short will be focused effort for anyone who knows my postings.

First name is Troy, tlc is initials. 41 year old guy from northern lower Michigan. I've been an engineer all my working life, and then some. I build and fix things and work on cars. I play bass guitar and some keyboards. I like things and people that are quiet. Live in the country, love to go away to quiet pretty places where there are no people. I read various nonfiction. Mezzmerized by a woodstove fire, but it's also quite essential up here. I like old technology for just about everything. Though I'd like something faster than dialup, it's all I can get here. So bear with me, I can't see large images or any videos.

Don't like drinking, smoking, drugs, pets, religion, or sports. Don't like to fight or debate. I say my piece and call it good. #1 thing don't like commotion and noise. And mean people. Perhaps as my personality test says, I wish everyone would just get along. While I don't have the skill to mediate, world harmony would be my utopia.

Have a 17 year old daughter who lives here sometimes, otherwise is almost 200 miles downstate. Very much like me and plays music too.

Got pretty much every aspie/HFA trait in the book from what I've read. Have had a very hard life both healthwise, and all interactions with society, primarily legal ones. While I like to be heard sometimes, I don't want charity, even if I have nothing I feel better getting by on my own.
 
Hi Tom, I'm Mia and live in Canada. Recently retired at fifty-five, and now have time for my interests. Snowshoe in the winter and long distance cycle in the summer and do taekwondo forms and often dance to various types of music. I'm an artist, and lately have been doing collage with some watercolour and acrylic.

Like to fix things out of curiosity, and reuse things in a practical way. Read, when I'm not doing the other things, murder mysteries and science fiction and classics. Three cats own me and there is a crow that occasionally visits, as well as several neighbourhood dogs who visit regularly for a lacrosse game that involves a tennis ball.

I'm James, 46, born and raised in Alberta (western Canada), AKA hinterland :rolleyes:

I will keep it simple, I take far too many photos considering it's not my main income, see link below... Some years I've taken as many as 40K photos... :eek:

I love driving the flatlands (AKA Canadian prairies) just to take photos... I spend lots of time hanging around downtown taking photos (see above), and in the summer go to as many car shows and cruise nights to take photos (see above), etc...
 
I’m a 32-year old female Aspie from the Netherlands. I’m a medical doctor working in a regional hospital, love my job but struggle with the amount of chaos that comes with it sometimes.
I live in a sunny apartment with my boyfriend and two cats. I grow various plants, herbs and vegetables in my windowsills, much to the chagrin of my cats, who consider the windowsills theirs. I love gaming, cooking, reading, writing and dancing. I start many projects but often struggle to finish any. My house is filled with unfinished art projects. I would make a terrible housewife because I hate cleaning.
 
I'm Susan, SLR initials.
Just turned 61 and diagnosed 3 yrs ago.
I love animals, music, biological and medical sciences,
philosophy and I collect rock and mineral speciman pieces or any rock that catches my eye out in nature.
I have no family so I live with an elderly man I used to play tennis with. I rent a wing of his large house and kind of a caregiver to him.
I keep tree frogs in the pool enclosure as pets.
That's about all the guy will let me have anyway.
No inside pets.

I've had a lot of health issues, but used to be a pharmacist.
Never married or any children. I was the child as I lived with my parents until they died in 2013.
Hard adjustment as I also have anxiety/panic attacks.
I enjoy gardening and raising Monarch butterflies that I keep a garden of milkweed for.
I'm a horror movie fan although I don't watch much TV or movies. I enjoy my PC time better.
And I'm that night owl type!
