Hi I'm Rich (by name at least, I'm otherwise skint)

[Mr Allen]

Topic.

I am 40 a week next Thursday, was diagnosed with AS in late October 1999 at the age of 23 and half.

I have lots of interests but the main one is computing, I'm on the Internet all day every day on Facebook, YouTube and Google searching various topics.

I live in s small 1 Bedroom Flat in Central Sheffield, just outside the City Centre with support from my Parents and a local care company.

I work 2 days a week in 2 local charity shops, PDSA and Oxfam.

Hello Rich,

Welcome to Aspies Central. Had to look up 'skint' as I didn't' know what it meant, where I live it's known as bien être.

I am lost.
I thought "skint" was rather negative.
Like 'broke' or 'out of luck.'

But every definition I see for "bien etre"
is quite laid back and positive.

Hi Rich, I'm quite similar to you, I spend all my free time on the computer too. I also work in Oxfam at the moment, putting items like CDs and games online for them.

 

[Mr Allen]

To me "skint" means I have no money.

Due to being an Aspie, I am unemployed apart from my Charity shop jobs, and am thus, on benefits.

Welcome Rich. I like the picture you have behind you in your profile shot. I know Sheffield very well as it was the only other place, aside from Manchester that was a straight train ride from my parent's local railway station plus one of my elder sisters lived there for a year or so in the 90s.

Hi Rich, welcome to AC. I saw you already in the early 3D games thread. I used to play those Lucasarts games, too. Fond memories.

It's no fun being skint but I'm like that you can make a good joke out of it.
