Welcome!
How long have you been making violins?
Hi ... thank you
was a while ago since my apprenticeship ... moved on to playing music then producing and recording for others ... haven't go back around to making violins yet ...
... curious ... what's your association with this website? ... all new to me ... still finding my way ... also curious about your avatar ... any semblance to you? ...
What is your first name? Elyot
Age: 31
Location: UK
Hobbies and Interests: Listening to music, writing, drawing, walking, educating myself, nature, evolution, space, photography, Doctor Who, YouTube, fantasy, quizzes, online games, collecting things, steampunk, thunderstorms and clouds.
Why are you here? Just to gain some knowledge about all this stuff.
When were you diagnosed?(skip if you don't have a disorder): I haven't been diagnosed with being on the autistic spectrum, I only suspect I'm on it.
Favorite subjects: English, art, graphics, Spanish.
Year/Grade: N/A
Favorite music: A variety! A few examples would be: Genres: alternative, pop, classical, instrumental. Artists: Placebo, Sigur Rós, Tegan and Sara. Eras: 60s and 90s.
Books: 'The Blood Cell' by James Goss. I'm not really a reader as I find it daunting.
TV shows/Movies: Doctor Who and documentaries. I don't watch modern TV shows; all my other favourites are from years ago.
Instrument: Drums (mainly steel drums) and acoustic guitar.
Do you like sports? No. I don't like watching them but I didn't mind playing badminton during PE lessons at school. If I was interested, I guess I'd probably play that or tennis, but watching them is kind of boring to me.
Family: I live with my dad and younger brother. I have an older brother who lives elsewhere, as does my mum.
Clothing: My favourite item of clothing is one of my Doctor Who t-shirts and also my Muppets 'Animal' pyjama trousers. They're very comfy to wear in bed.
How did you find this website? I think I found it via a Google search a couple of years ago. Or it might have been Social Anxiety Support forum.
Job: Unemployed right now.
Plans for the future? I don't have any but finding work.
Any comments? Nothing.

haven't go back around to making violins yet ... that's a shame...perhaps in the future!

...i'm just one of the many users on the site
...avatar...nah, just liked the pic
That's not happening.
Location:
Carbon date me.
Math, Chemistry, Nanomaterials, Propulsion sciences, Electronic engineering, Philosophy, Semiotics, Painting, Violin,
Wheels.
Because I am done trying to make NT friends...it is a hopeless venture and I hope to meet others on the spectrum who I can talk to because I almost don't have problems with other ATs at all. but I'd like to talk not on the forum because nothing on this forum is truly secure.
About 3 years ago. it's still weird because I am actually a Savant but i spent so much of my life with a basement level self esteem It never occurred to me that there were things I could just do and when they happened I just shook my head and told myself it was a fluke of some kind. Now i don't do that I just poke my brain until it does something very unusual and giggle to myself.
Wheels.
N/A by comparison to my monstrous and very methodical autodidactic education.
Mostly 70's & 80's Metal Especially songs about wheels.
Presently Reading James H. Bunn's "the natural law of cycles".
I loved herbert's Dune. lots of scientific papers.
Rick and Morty
Fight club
Dune
All the Mad Max Movies
Just the first Iron Man
Primer
I can't list em all. Really long list.
See interests.
Do I like the endless and seemingly pointless team oriented contest on earth SO MUCH that I want to be part of or watch a nested iteration of it?.....I am not sure...but probably not.
I am a direct descendant of a really really long line of fairly well known people. Generals, Inventors, composers.
It's really a lot, enough that most people don't believe me. My immediate family I don't get along with great I love them, they love me (they say they do) we don't get along at all so i live in the Netherlands and they live on the West coast of the united states.
Yes I wear clothing.
I don't remember it was a while back.
That's also not happening.
I have a bunch of patents I am working on, a theorem that needs finishing, I want to keep learning electronics,
play with more clock reactions (chemistry) make friends locally so that I will have some reason to leave my house...it's not really healthy what i am doing. i don't leave anymore.
I am really glad the forum allows anonymity. i don't think I would stay otherwise. Oh and ...I expect to get banned soon. It's the trend on forums. it's probably me...I question everything, say what I think, challenge assumptions, call the ultimate end of social movements into question. I am really and truly deeply chaotic neutral.
