Hi, I'm Snek

Hello! I'm a 19 year old trans guy and in college and on my kinda third time of self diagnosing but I'm actually sure this time (basically I would be like "wow this is me" when learning about autism but I had learned to copy everyone else so I got on fine most of the time and thought that meant I couldn't be autistic, then I felt very bad about being a Liar). I told my friend about this and they said "And what have I been trying to tell you for TWO YEARS??" (two years ago I had a burnout and had a really ****** time and couldn't socialize anymore) I'm not very self aware and am terrified of actually turning out to be a liar, so yeah. The stress of adulting is making my sensory issues worse than I can remember them ever being, and I can't keep my apartment clean or enforce my own routines and barely even do hobbies anymore. So basically I'm a mess and need to learn to cope better.

Things I like doing are crocheting, sewing, machine embroidery (especially lace), certain kinds of beading, and hanging out with my cat. I have also recently discovered the magic of fidget spinners and am trying to design a communication/overload level ring. Like the same idea as those red/green flip bracelets but as a ring instead. This quarter I have a computer modeling class and access to the schools 3D printer so maybe I can make a prototype. If I had the money and space I would buy a 3D printer in a heartbeat. Forbidden obsession. (also there's a ****** elitist attitude in the male dominated craft communities that I've never encountered in traditionally "girly" crafts)

Okay, I think I'm rambling a little now, that's all.

welcome i like papercrafting especially 3d die cut cards.
 
It's pretty stunning for a school to have a 3D printer, although I suppose soon it will be nothing unusual for loads of people to have them and the price is bound to come down while the efficiency increases over time.

Anyway, you are very welcome here at ASPIESCentral and I hope to see you around. :)
