Hello,

I'm new to this forum and wanted to say hello. I'm 29 years old, I have Asperger's and I only just found out. I'm still working out what that actually means but I've found some of the posts on this forum really useful.

Hi Rose, welcome! It's nice to have you here. I was dx as an adult too. Do you have any special interests?

Thanks everyone!

My interests include: art, industrial design, UX, colouring in, writing and LEGO. Kind of a cat lady too.

Colouring in is definitely an obsession - can't get enough of it but it makes me happy I've been dealing with depression on and off since I was 15 (half my life) and I've been anxious for as long as I can remember. Colouring in always calms me down.

I'm a designer and most of my writing relates to my field. So, technical writing mostly. That's a really good idea cathlynn, I colour in every night and it really helps
