What is your first name? Jimi

Age: 23

Location: Durham, UK

Hobbies and Interests: Writing, reading, a little painting/drawing, DnD, listening to talks, chess, anime, spending way
too long following the threads of my curiosity on the internet. I've been wanting to try poetry lately. My interests are listed on my profile as I feel like there are a lot.

Why are you here? I want to talk to others with an ASD and I want to learn. Ideally I'll get to know some like minded
people.

When were you diagnosed?: End of November 2019

Favorite subjects: Dreams, parapsychology, philosophy, spirituality, mathematics.

Favorite music: Instrumental? Orchestral? Melodeath? Ambient/folk? I can't choose.

Books: I like fiction and non-fiction. For fiction I really enjoyed Zaregoto/Monogatari series, Raven: Blood eye series and Conn Iggulden's Conqueror series. As for non-fiction some favourites are True Hallucinations, Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious and The Way of Chuang Tzu.

TV shows/Movies: I very rarely watch TV shows or movies but I do watch anime, many genres. One TV show I really
loved is Vikings, but I ended up losing interest after season 5.

Instrument: Piano

Do you like sports? I'm indifferent. I used to play football as a kid, I'm sure I'd enjoy it if I resumed.

Family: Both of my parents still live and I have 5 siblings.

Clothing: I wear whats comfortable but I'd rather just wear no clothes at all. Shame I can't get away with that. Everything I own is black but I'm hoping to change that, it's getting a bit old.

How did you find this website? It was recommended to me after my diagnosis.

Job: No

Plans for the future? I will finish writing my book and then move on to other things.

Any comments? Seems like a nice place, I hope it's still somewhat active.

Obsessions- vegan recipes and problem solving, creative advocacy, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (for life!), Star Trek (TNG, Voyager, DS9, and Picard... but really just the idea behind the ST universe), Buffy, my 90s childhood nostalgia, rocks (especially rough gemstones, eroded, oddly pierced, or rocks that have merged with other substances), learning about autism and adhd (diagnosed with ADHD, in the process of diagnosis with autism), obsession with cats (duh, lol), and obsession with symbols and deconstructing their meaning

Why are you here? to be a part of a support system with people who have similar problems, a sense of belonging for once

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

Favorite subjects: health, economics (all, it was my major), environmental science, psychology, physics, sociology, art, any writing class, algebra (I kept taking classes as an elective, lol), genetics (was first place in my class)

Family: father in another state, mother in Nicaragua, lives with boyfriend, never lived alone, no kids, four pets, half-sister I rarely speak to (she's the social one)

How did you find this website? I consulted the Google ;)

Plans for the future? go back for my master's degree, help with sustainable economic development in my community
