Got here from that Spectrumville place, this forum seems to be a little more lively.
"Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, edit some stuff"
I've been fairly recently been diagnosed with both ADD and PDD-NOS. Last November to be precise.
ADD was the one I've been looking for to explain all the major problems I experienced in my life. And quite a relief it was (crying and laughing at the same time, such a bizarre experience) when I finally understood why I did things a certain way and just couldn't get things done, even when I loved or actually didn't mind to do them.
The PDD-NOS, however, I did not expect.
I guess part of my reason being here is that it is one of the many ways I'm trying to find out for myself what autism means for me. To help me learn accept it more (what I can't do) and get the most out of it (what I can learn). (edit-this is actually going fairly well, also hoping for some good ol' discussin')
But don't get me wrong, I know I have some form of autism at least. But I also have some traits that don't really fit that well with autism, and my ADD is quite severe, both balancing out and empowering the autistic traits. But I might get back on that later somewhere else, to not turn this newbie introduction post into a topic-worthy rant about phsychology that might be better placed somewhere else.
So I'll cut to the chase with who I am. I'm an artist, in the broad sense. I draw (avatar is a sketch I made, it's meh), sculpt(mostly on the computer, but also miniatures), paint, write poetry, philosophise about everything, make music (singing, guitar, on the computer) and all that flavoured with deep interests in psychology and the natural workings of the world.
Beauty is a main drive in my life.
