Hi everyone

Hello fellow Aspies. I'm kind of new here, I've been here before but I decided to create a new account and re-introduce myself.
So about me... I'm 22, and I have HFA/Aspergers. I got diagnosed at the age of 4. I live in a care home for people with autism. The past 4-5 years have been a particular struggle with severe obsessive thoughts but I'm slowly getting there.
I'm a student (as of next week). I'm studying Animation and Illustration (BTEC Level 3). As you can see I love being creative. I also love writing and have self published a short novel. I won't self promote myself at this point but if you want more info I will be happy to let you know. I am hoping to write more books including my life story.
I'm also currently in the process of setting up a magazine for people with ASDs, and I really need submissions for the first issue so if anyone has any ideas please contact me [by private message].
Yes I am doing a lot but it really helps distract me from my destructive thoughts, which I will explain about at a later date if anyone wants to know.
Looking forward to making some friends here!

I like bright colors
 
Nice to have you here, Asten. Welcome aboard! Studying something you enjoy helps stimulate obsessive thoughts, for sure. I'm currently doing a BTEC Level 3 course in art and design. Good luck with your studies and congratulations on being published.
