Any comments? Been dealing with severe depression and a tendency to self-harm lately, very frustrated by the fact that I haven't been able to get a job I can support myself on. When I'm experiencing a strong emotion, am very stressed, overloaded, or nervous, I can't speak understandably, or sometimes at all, no matter how hard I try, and most jobs I can find require some level of social interaction above the amount I can handle.

Age: 35

Location: Rotterdam, Netherlands

Hobbies and Interests: Yoga, Triathlon, Fitness, Vegan Food, Natural Health, Travel

Why are you here? My son was diagnosed with autism, and I'm sure I have it too. I'm still in the closet because of a custody battle.

When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder):

Favorite subjects: If I was still in school right now, history, science, languages, music, theater, and depending on what sport we're doing, gym. I was really out of shape until my 20s though, so I hated gym class in school.

Year/Grade:

Favorite music: Pretty diverse, with a preference for alternative.

Books: I'm not much of a reader.

TV shows/Movies: Not a big TV watcher. I haven't been to the movies either, but I do have a soft spot for movies and shows that use the sci-fi genre as a social commentary. Continuum is a great example of this, and it's especially relevant now that the US has Trump, corporations basically are the government.

Instrument: I sang a long time ago. I would love to get back into this, but time is an issue.

Do you like sports? Now I do! My goal is to compete in the Ironman (triathlon, 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike ride, and 42 km run), and to be in my 80s and still doing it.

Family: Most of my family sees me as the black sheep. I have a pretty good bond with people in my family who have come out as fellow black sheep. They all live in the US, so it's been 6 years since I've seen any of them, my niece and I talk all the time though.

Clothing: No particular style, whatever is comfortable and not boring.

How did you find this website? Google

Job: Yoga/Pilates teacher/entrepreneur.

Plans for the future? Change the world for the better. Still working out the details of that. My feeling says keep training for Ironman, and then use it as a platform to promote a plant-based lifestyle.

Any comments? Being autistic in 2017 is so much better than in the 90s! Hopefully more and more people will wake up to the fact that autism is NOT a disorder or a disease, 2 words I refuse to use when talking about autism.

What is your first name? Prefer not to disclose unless relevant in a one on one conversation. Starts With an L

Good morning ScarletIbis,

I noted in your signature that you explained the date vs age thing. Just go into your profile and juxtapose the day and month for your date of birth and it should fix it. I had to do that because I was starting to curse at the computer for being wrong every time I looked at it. Hope this helps a little.

Yay! It worked JoeNavy. Thank you
