Is that even a word? Guess not lol. You all can call me Bloody. I’m 33, was diagnosed early on around 3 or so years, but for a long time hadn’t thought much about it beyond being anxious it would make me seem weird amongst my older brother’s friends. Dunno if it’s taboo or against any rules to mention other sites on here but there was one other autism related forum I tried around late teens/early twenties I just did not enjoy unfortunately. Hoping things go better here.
What ultimately motivated me to find a new place to talk was learning one of my nieces may have autism. Fairly certain sister is undiagnosed as well but not really for me to say. Just got me curious about many different aspects I’d never given much thought to before, maybe stuff that just didn’t have as much research readily available by means of random YouTube suggestions, etc. Really stands out to me in particular has been immune system, stress, temperature not regulating always making me run ungodly hot, burnout - most or all factors being a part of why I quit my last job and have been not so keen on finding new work despite hating to be a burden on my family. At least I figure if I can read about how others are handling things it may help.
That all might already be oversharing a bit. What else? Just some general stuff…well, I consider myself mostly a laid back guy who loves to draw, write, play video games and, just over a year ago now, begin to develop my own for several game jams which has been both fun and educational. I guess for a few random media interests there’s Zelda, Metroid, Berserk, Jojo, most anything by Satoshi Kon, Twin Peaks, Grasshopper Manufacture as a whole, more recently stuff like Asteroid City, Void Stranger, some old film called A Scanner Darkly. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, just ask. Nice to meet you all!
