Heya all - I go by Sci in some circles.
As of sometime earlier this year: I officially got my diagnosis, bringing to an end a 28 year old question: "why am I so different" and it's been.. harrowing.
I've always been the sort so self isolate as a result, something I'm coming to realize was a defense mechanism. Since that diagnosis I've been trying to both understand my own head better, and try to integrate better socially; socializing having always been a major struggle of mine.
So, in that vein of trying to socialize more, I got recommended to here as part of my diagnosis and figured I'd dip my toes in, feel my way around and hopefully try to make some new friends along the way : )
A tad more about me:
- I work in tech support
- I play a lot of games (Stellaris, WoW (formerly, anyway), Rimworld, Deep Rock Galactic, Factorio for a few recent examples)
- I love Sci-fi (Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, The Expanse) and spaceship design in particular
- I've apparently got a preternatural talent for communicating with, and befriending dogs. Let me pet yours please
- I live in the southwestern Virginia area
- I have a pretty major audio sensitivity
- I *adore* winter (which isnt helped by my location. We get very little snow here and it makes me quite sad)
I try to be as open and friendly as possible so if you're likeminded/have similar interests and/or just wanna chat; don't hesitate to reach out! I promise I dont bite!
