Hi! I'm an autistic girl from N. Ireland.
I like to read middle grade fantasy (PJO, Magnus Chase, KOTLC) and watch Love on the Spectrum.
I like sour sweets and musicals.
I don't have many friends, but I'm not a people person.
I like talking to Neurodivergent people.
I love cool characters like Alex Fierro, Biana Vacker and Dex Dizznee (can you tell I like KOTLC).
Want to talk?

Hi sharkeatssocks,
Nice to meet you! I am new to Wrong Planet as well and excited to get to know people. I like musicals as well -- what are some of your favorites? I haven't seen many in-person unfortunately, but my favorite is Wicked. However, I also love to listen to musical theater songs.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

I have to say, I've never heard of a shark eating socks. Did the shark think they were fish, or just decide to try something new? (or is it a joke I'm not getting?)

sharkeatssocks, Welcome to Wrong Planet.

What is KOTLC? I had to look that one up. Here is a video of a young man having a conversation with an automated version of KOTLC. Strange.



You wrote, "I like talking to Neurodivergent people." You have probably found the right place because there are many of us in this site. Welcome.

Howdy! I like to read Percy Jackson and Magnus Chase, too! :)

My other favorite book series is Tolkien's Legendarium, like the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. Do you like them, too?

What other interests do you have, SES? Video games? Movies? Sports? Outdoor activities?

i will admit, KOTLC is a pretty obscure series. It's ongoing though, only up until book 9.5 is out and there is planned at least 1 more

Sounds like someone tried to jump the shark.
